5 out of 5 stars Wow, huge huge value - get this   July 10, 2006

The cd is very nice, well recorded, bass on left.

The methods I've used and some others i've heard and wondered about are clearly explained here with examples.

Recording is with acoustic upright bass, great sound.

Tabs help to get fingering and double check where I am before my reading catches up with my intentions to play better. ;)

Insane value, this kind of material easily is worth 3 times as much.

I can apply these techniques of leading, chromatics, and the exapmles of the combinations of these and other approaches without knowing how to read since i'm good at patterns, so this is very valuable to me.

This book is better than most because it starts simply and gradually expands the concept of Walking Bass. Harmonically it is excellent but is let down buy lack of rhyhmic ideas (ie none).A Glossary of rhythmic patterns/ideas at the end would have been nice. And why do writers insist on TAB when
1. Doublebass doesn't have frets and
2. What happened to learning to read.
Instead of TAB I would prefer suggested fingering for the musical phrases (bass lines). This would often help when transposing key too.
