Everything you need to know about starting to play bass! Working with Louis Satterfield, Verdine White of Earth, Wind and Fire has laid out a systematic method to learning the basics of music theory and how it relates to the bass. By the end of the book, you'll not only understand and read music but also gain the independence needed to move around your instrument with ease. Audio demos are accessed online using the unique code inside the book and can be streamed or downloaded. The audio files include PLAYBACK+, a multi-functional audio player that allows you to slow down audio without changing pitch, set loop points, change keys, and pan left or right.
