SPOTLIGHT: LEARN THE CLASSICS ON ELECTRIC BASS

There’s a reason we remember the music and the composers of the classical era. Bass players can expand their musical vocabulary, deepen their understanding of structure and greatly improve their dexterity by learning these lines — some famous, some obscure.

Names like Bach, Beethoven, Handel, Vivaldi, Tchaikovsky and Mozart made massive contributions to the evolution of western music as we know it. Pay them the honor of helping refine your own bass technique and repertoire by learning some of these classics.
