Essential Elements for Strings - Book 1 with Eei: Double Bass

I am so pleased I bought this cost easy under £10 with delivery. Income from electric bass background with no understanding of written music. Having boght a double bass i want to expand my abilities plus my taste has moved on some from indie type. I bought several books to try and get me started but they haven,t helped . this is excellent. It shows double bass fingering position in terms of musical note on tab, and alphabetical note as starters. This is great to link where note is on physical neck on bass. I've ordered version 2 excitement. It has basic intro and tunes to get started. For double bass and reading music as a starter best book out their. You can link to a CD and e- learning which im i procees of doing. So pleased I had to leave a review.

Good when you start learning. Great book

Great book for a beginner...child or adult. Very well explained and the mp3/video in their web page are great. Not only metronome ticking but you actually play to music right from the beginning, which is so much more fun. This is a great purchase.

Excellent book for beginners. This is the one to start with.

Great first book for people learning the bass. I play and teach many woodwind and brass instruments and I dabble with the violin, so I have a good idea about what makes for a good book to learn from, and this fits with my philosophy very nicely. This book starts with open strings and gradually introduces notes which require using fingers on the strings. It also starts with pizzicato (plucked) playing so the student gets comfortable just making sounds on the instrument before it introduces the use of the bow. This book has clear explanations of what to do and good pictures to demonstrate. An excellent first book!
