5.0 out of 5 stars Useful Tool
Really great, easy to follow book as per the rest of the 'dummies' books.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very structured and accssible book suitable for absolute beginners
I was looking at several books that might help me in self-teaching bass playing. I ended up settling in this one because it offered some online content, such as tablatures and videos. All other books I was looking at shipped with a CD (honestly that's a joke nowadays).Anyway, I was not disappointed, as an absolute beginner the book offered various essential tips to get started. I'm not a fluent player yet, I'm advancing slowly. But I feel that the book will also be useful at later stages when I get more familiar with the mechanics of playing the bass.I wholeheartedly recommend this, the direction I see for improvement is making more helper content available online.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bass Guitar for Dummies
"Bass Guitar for Dummies" is an exceptional bass tutor. Easy to read and presented in a logical manner, it takes the student through the mysteries of the bass guitar step by step and in bite size morsels that are easy to understand. I`m only a few weeks in and have made excellent progress - and it`s been great fun too.....I recommend it to anyone who`s serious about the bass guitar - from beginners to advanced players.
5.0 out of 5 stars Just buy it!
Truly lives up to my (high) expectations. It contains a more than adequate amount of information. The book is written in a straightforward, clear language that kept me motivated.I feel my money was well spent.
3.0 out of 5 stars Only buy if you to learn fingerstyle bass
First off i'll start by saying that I am professional guitar and bass teacher. I have taught guitar for over 20 years and find the for dummies books a perfect addon to my lessons, I used to use a different book for bass as I bought a job lot of the guitar for dummies and the complete guide to playing bass from a wholesaler years ago (100 of each) I give them out to my students as a refresher to what we're learning.So I ordered this book ahead of starting a new teaching position at a local night school.So it arrived and all I can say is what a waste of money, first of all it ONLY teaches finger style bass, the paper feels cheap and for me the major issue is that the examples have to be downloaded from their website which is stupid in my opinion. Speaking of the examples, they are not just of the bass but also drums or click tracks and guitar on others, most people would have the ability to seperate the channels to remove the background noises.send the extra couple of quid and get either the complete bass player or the idiots guide to bass, both are better teaching manuals.
5.0 out of 5 stars Bass for dummies
Great book, if you're like me and want to get started playing the bass
4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of valuable info.
Bought this as I was getting back into playing guitar after playing guitar professionally 40 years ago. Back then I could play really well without knowing an awful lot about the theory of music. This time I thought I'd buy several books to update myself and actually put a name to the scale modes I was playing etc. I'd also like to read music, but that's for another time.There is a lot of info in this book. I especially like the chapter on Paul McCartneys bass lines and songwriting styles.You have access through this book to a large number of mp3 tracks and videos, these being similiar to the kind you would get on Youtube. You need to access these through the internet however. They are not supplied with the book which is a shame.Being already a bass player I pick up tidbits were I can to improve my knowledge, better late then never, but this book does have most of the answers to the basic theory questions you may have. If I may suggest a follow up book to which I bought at the same time as this. Electric Bass Method Complete by David Overthrow. This book is all of his three bass course books amalgamated into this one book. You save a lot of money buying all three in the one book complete with a cd covering the entire course.
Great book, came in quickly in excellent condition.
Great book, received it more quickly than I thought I would, in perfect condition. Everything is accessible, no harsh reading at all. I already have good knowledge of music theory since I’ve been playing piano and guitar for quite a few years now, but being new to electric bass, this book allow me to get a good start. The fact that every chapter is independent is great, for I can skip those talking of subjects I already know well without getting lost. I recommend it, same for the seller. Thanks !
Great guide to learning bass
Really good guide to use in conjunction with lesson books as explains terms well. Have looked up a lot of terms and theories. It does what the title says!
Volver a tocar el bajo.
Use este libro para recorder todo lo que olvide atraves de Los años sin tocar el bajo. Excelente para empesar a tocar o revisar.
Precisely what a beginning player needs
This book (and the accompanying videos) has become one of my three primary resources for learning bass. It was a great help with getting set up, finger drills and conditioning, scales, and progressing. Mr. Pfeiffer's writing style is entertaining and keeps the reader's interest. The videos are more straightforward and do an excellent job of demonstrating the material. I am very glad I purchased this and do not hesitate to recommend it.
For Bass guitar
Good explanation of learning to playing the Bass guitar if you're new to it. I wish this book was out in 2004 when i got interested in learning to play the Bass guitar.
