Intended for beginners and professionals, the book deals with playing in 2, creating walking bass lines, 3/4 time, using a "broken feel," modal and slash-chord harmony, ballads, and much more. Each chapter is full of fundamental and advanced concepts and ideas, accompanied by transcribed examples from the masters of jazz bass playing.
