Funk Bass 2nd Edition | Bass Guitar Instruction Book with TAB and Online Audio | Funk and Slap Bass Techniques, Grooves, Equipment and Effects Guide | Bass Builders Series | Jon Liebman
(Bass Instruction). This title has been critically acclaimed as the best single source for the techniques used to play funk and slap-style bass! This new second edition only gets better with a new recording, more instruction, and a fresh layout. Includes a foreword by John Patitucci and is endorsed by Rich Appleman of the Berklee College of Music, Will Lee, Mark Egan, Stuart Hamm and many others! Features several photos and a special section on equipment and effects. A book for everyone from beginners to advanced players! Includes a 58-minute online audio accompaniment.
It's a theory book. Practical and foundation setting for bass players. Use it to add a tool to your player's toolkit.
If you're already a solid slap/funk bassist, you're probably not learning much from this, but it's been useful for me (as subpar of a player that I am).
