Stuff! Good Bass Players Should Know from Hal Leonard takes your playing from ordinary to extraordinary. This all-encompassing book-and-CD pack for bassists provides valuable tips on performing, recording, the music business, instruments, and equipment (including electronics), grooves, fills, soloing techniques, care and maintenance, and more. Demos of authentic grooves include rock, jazz, blues, R&B, and funk.
