Bass Book – So You’ve Decided to Play Bass at Church

So You’ve Decided to Play Bass at Church: A Practical Guide for Serving on a Worship Team is a short ebook written by Eric Richardson specifically for musicians who are playing, or preparing to play, bass in contemporary worship settings.

Rather than functioning as a traditional lesson book, the guide serves as a practical field guide for church bassists. It focuses on the real situations that arise when serving on a worship team, including rehearsals, Sunday morning services, changing arrangements, and adapting when musicians or plans change.

The book intentionally avoids music theory instruction, bass exercises, chord charts, and scale diagrams. Instead, it explores practical ways bass players can approach their role within a worship band, both musically and relationally.

Drawing from firsthand experience in contemporary worship environments, the guide offers insights about supporting the band, communicating with other musicians, and adjusting in the moment depending on the needs of the group.

At 43 pages, the ebook is designed to be concise, practical, and accessible for volunteer musicians and church teams. DRM has been intentionally disabled so the resource can easily be shared among worship teams.
