Jazz Bass On Top: A Guide To Left-Hand Technique

Jazz Bass On Top: A Guide To Left-Hand Technique

Jazz Bass On Top: A Guide To Left-Hand Technique is a collection of 50 classic Jazz songs, with the melody written in Bass clef along with the chord progressions. It says it’s intended for double bass (and provides good notes for the double bassist), but is easily understandable for the electric bassist.

Ultimately, it’s a straightforward study, that provides a great jump start into learning Jazz standards, starting with the melody, and then working down – hence the title: Jazz Bass on Top.

The mark of a good title is one that makes you wish you had more time – and this one does that.

Bass on Top features 50 classic jazz songs with precise fingerings to help you gain mastery of the fingerboard. Songs are presented in order of difficulty, creating the perfect workbook for classroom situations, or for any individual who wants to develop a solid foundation for soloing and walking basslines. 64 pages. Written in standard notation  (no TAB).
