I picked up “Bass Master” with a good bit of enthusiasm. I’m a beginner with guitar and the bass has also held my interests. I wasn’t disappointed.  The author gives a plethora of information on the bass. Inside this mini-book is an explanation of the bassist’s role in an ensemble. It’s the backbone of any piece, which is a big responsibility.What I feel is missing from this guide is pictures, especially when describing techniques. I had to read the descriptions a couple of times to understand them.  It’s really the only problem I have with this guide. Otherwise it does what the title claims. He uses that as the basis for teaching notes, nomenclature, how to play major and minor scales and techniques.He guides you through tuning the guitar, proper form, and even chords. This is all invaluable information in a mini-book. It’s really everything you need to know to get started, minus music theory, which the author urges you to learn. I’d recommend it to any aspiring bassist, without hesitation.
