The Bass Grimoire

In the pages that ensue, the mystical veil that enshrouds music theory will be removed. Theory will be explained for the bassist as easily as possible, with clear concise graphic diagrams. For the advanced players who already understand music theory , this book will have scales for you to readily explore new realms of music. For the intermediate players who know how to play chords, etc. but never really knew how they were built, this book will help put the pieces of the puzzle into place. Although this book is essentially designed for the intermediate and advanced player, this book will lay an excellent foundation for the beginner. This book is a "where to" book, showing you exactly where to find any scale in any key on your fretboard. It is a professional reference tool to enhance your music library and playing that you will use for many years to come.
