Bass method
Rock 'n' roll and rockabilly style bass method
Author: Bruno Tauzin
Content: 1 Book + 1 Disc
With no less than 25 basslines in Rock 'n' Roll and Rockabilly styles, this method will delight you for a long time to come. But not only ... Indeed, the idea here being to learn while playing, to progress while having fun, these grooves will also allow you to discover all the techniques which contribute to making good accompaniments in the style, whether on electric bass or double bass. A preliminary chapter, more didactic, will help you calmly approach the main difficulties (sound, structure, rhythm, chords and arpeggios ...). Finally, taking inspiration from the greatest artists of yesterday and today (The Stray Cats, Elvis Presley, Johnny Burnette, Ray Harris, Eddie Cochran, Jay Swan, Carl Perkins, Gene Vincent, Little Richard, Chuck Berry ...), these 25 tracks offer a vast overview of Rock 'n' Roll and Rockabilly styles. On the disk attached to the method, you will find several audio and video files. The videos (mp4) present in images the 25 basslines as they should be played, at normal speed and then in slow motion. The audio recordings (mp3), for their part, offer the corresponding playbacks, again at two different tempi. You can therefore play the grooves on offer here, or take the opportunity to freely develop your own ideas for accompaniment in the style.
