About this book

✅ Do you long to create your own bass lines and feel stuck trying to create great ones? 
✅ Have you always wanted to learn music theory but felt it was too overwhelming a task?
✅ Have you given up on books that are geared toward pianists, advanced Jazz players, or classical musicians?
✅ Do you know lots of songs, but don’t know how the chords are put together or how they work with the melody?

👉 If so, this is the book for you!

Here’s why:
🎯 Starting with intervals as music’s basic building blocks, you will explore scales and their modes, chords and the basics of harmony.
🎯 Packed with fretboard diagrams, musical examples, and exercises, this resource features over 180 pages of essential information, along with mind-bending quizzes, effective mnemonics, and engaging learning approaches.
🎯 Extensive and detailed photo demonstrations show why relaxed posture and optimized fingering are vital for good tone, timing, and chops.
🎯 You can even work your way through the book without being able to read music which becomes easier once theory is mastered.*

👉 Music Theory for the Bass Player is a foundational and immediately applicable guide to making you a well-grounded groover, informed bandmate, and all-around more creative musician.

📺 This book comes with 89 online streaming videos.

✏️ This is a workbook, so have bass and pencil ready!

👉 Learning theory on the fretboard using diagrams is very accessible and immediately usable.

*Note: You do not need to be able to read score or TAB to follow along this book. Learning to read – while a vitally important skill – is a different skill than music theory. Once the theory is understood, learning to read becomes much easier. Please read this blog post for more information.
