Country Bass Guitar Made Easy (Mel Bay Presents)

This book/CD set teaches the basics of country bass playing in a fun, €œquick access€ format. In a minimum amount of time, you will learn the bass part to 22 popular traditional songs including train songs (€œNew River Train€), gospel standards (€œAmazing Grace€), Waltzes (€œKnoxville Girl€), bluegrass songs (€œDon€t Let Your Deal Go Down€), country blues (€œCorrine, Corrina€) and more. All bass parts are written in both tablature and standard notation exactly as played on the companion CD. Extra lyrics are provided for singers.

This stereo CD enables you to €œsit in€ with a country band that includes a singer, rhythm guitar and bass. To facilitate learning, each of the 22 songs is performed at two tempos: moderate and €œslowpoke.€ The stereo format allows you to hear the bass guitar clearly isolated on the right speaker.
