This is a bass method book designed to help beginning bassists, or anyone wanting a solid foundation for creating walking bass lines. It covers all the basic principles of walking bass line construction, time feel tips, ear training, and transcriptions of every bass note the author plays on the accompanying play-along CD. Endorsed by Eddie Gomez, Jimmy Haslip, John Goldsby, Ben Allison, etc.
