The Bass Player's Guide to Scales & Modes

by Stuart Clayton

Overview

The Bass Player's Guide to Scales & Modes is a complete reference manual featuring all of the scales, modes and arpeggios used by the modern bass guitarist. The construction of each scale and mode is covered in detail and the reader is encouraged to learn the content of the scale rather than the prescribed fretboard patterns found in other books. 'Real world' bass grooves clearly demonstrate the sound and use of each scale. Audio files for these exercises are available as a free download from the publishers website. This book is for bass players of all levels.
