The Ultimate Bass Scales Book: A must have for every bass guitar player!

by Karl Golden

Overview

A Must Have For Every Bass Player!

This book can be used as a learning, reference or practice tool to explore new scales and shapes to help improve your songwriting, improvisational skills and practice routine.

Going from the simplest scales, such as the Minor Pentatonic scale, through to the more complex, such as Harmonic Minor and Melodic Minor. This book can be used simply as a reference point for shapes to play for certain scales/modes, or to further develop your knowledge and practice routines to become the ultimate bass player! There are lots of practice examples with tabs. You can download the audio for free on my website (link will be in the book).



You can keep track of your progress with the 20 page weekly practice diary and create your own shapes and changes with empty scale diagrams and tablature at the back of the book.

Put together by musician Karl Golden, who has been playing guitar professionally for over 10 years and is now a big influencer in the YouTuber community, with well over 48 million views on his content.
