BASS GUITAR JAZZ BOOK
How do I learn music?
I played bass guitar for many years through my teen years and college. I would consider myself good but I got bored with it and fell out of practice.
I think where things fell down was that I lacked a knowledge of how music really works so the creative element was lacking. I was just replicating what others had done.
I still have good dexterity in my hands and such. I’m not really worried about the technical aspects, those will come back.
I’m more interested in how music works. Someone recommended I start with the ‘Rudiments of Western Music’ (a book). I think I know enough theory to work with it.
I’m heavily interested in jazz. Is this a good way to start? Where should I go from here?
Get “practical theory complete” by alfred publications. It is a straightforward workbook in theory that covers all the basics and gives a solid foundation in music theory. When you’re finished with that, email me-I’ll have more titles to push you on further.
