This review is from: The Untold Secret of Melodic Bass (Kindle Edition)
The Untold Secret of Melodic Bass"Jon has come up with a great book for bassists, and anyone else for that matter, which delves into the construction of compelling bass lines. He is very thorough in his approach talking about what the bassist does and all the why's and how's. Jon is a great musician, and his take on this subject matter is a welcome addition to the topic." - Bob Mintzer, Grammy-winning saxophonist/composer/educator "Jon Burr shares valuable secrets of jazz bass playing, and he writes in a clear and direct manner. This book will help students and pros alike in developing swinging, melodic and groove bass lines. " - Ted Rosenthal, pianist, composer and instructor at Juilliard School of Music "After decades as a first-call bassist on the New York jazz scene, Jon Burr reveals his concepts and musical wisdom in this concise and easy to understand tutorial. A must-have for the aspiring jazz bassist. " - John Goldsby, author: The Jazz Bass Book "If you want to be a creative BASS player, this is the book for you." - Houston Person, saxophonist/producer/jazz master "I finally had the time to actually play thru the book thorougly... it's fantastic. It's great to see someone addressing in print the stuff that makes melody sound so great. I love that last paragraph...It's great to have stuff that veteran bassists learn to do intuitively explained in clear, logical language. It's a wonderful, and as far as I know, unique, book." - John Loehrke, bassist and educator "Jon has made a science of of building bass lines with his extensive professional experience. With this Gem-of-a-book, he turns it into an understandable language, then into a practical application. It's broken down to the responsibilities of the Bass Player and, where he has freedom within the bass line." It's a must-have publication for any bassist." - Morrie Louden, bassist, composer and recording artist "Jon has taken his years of experience and turned them into a clear and concise method for studying the bass." - Ben Wolfe "The Untold Secret to Melodic Bass is an outstanding rethinking of how expert jazz bassists actually conceptualize and navigate chord changes. Written from the perspective of a seasoned jazz veteran but set forth in a straightforward and engaging fashion, this book is an excellent addition to the library of any jazz bass student or teacher." - Jason Heath, bassist, instructor, host/author of [..]doublebassblog.org

This review is from: The Untold Secret of Melodic Bass (Kindle Edition)
This book is _extremely_ short. (about 45 pages on the kindle with standard typeface)It presents some interesting ideas, which if further developed would make it a worthy read, but they're basically just a cursory overview. I honestly thought I was reading an introductory chapter outlining what would be further on in the book, and then I hit "In Conclusion..." and realized that it was over. I feel cheated after paying $10 for this. If it had been a real "book" in a physical store, I can't imagine anyone paying that amount for a book half the thickness of your typical Mel Bay book that goes for $6
