Synopsis

Mohini Dey: Advanced electric bass techniques for the modern player

Are you struggling to make complex rhythms feel natural and musical on bass?

Trouble mastering rhythmically complex parts and advanced bass techniques?

Stuck in a rut with your bass playing?

If you’re ready to go beyond the traditional role of bass and develop a truly modern, expressive voice on the instrument, then this book will show you how.

It’s time to step inside the world of Mohini Dey, one of the most groundbreaking bass players of her generation.

In Advanced Electric Bass Technique, Mohini shares the concepts, techniques and musical thinking behind her unmistakable, innovative style. Rooted in Indian classical rhythms, and infused with modern bass vocabulary, she teaches you to approach the bass as a rhythmic, melodic, harmonic, and percussive instrument – all at once.

Rather than chasing speed or flashy licks, Mohini teaches you how to think rhythmically and make your bass technique serve your musical expression. At the heart of this method is Konnakol, the South Indian system of spoken rhythm, which becomes your powerful tool for mastering odd-note groupings, elastic phrasing, and deep bass grooves.

You’ll discover these ideas through detailed breakdowns of two full tracks from her debut album, guiding you step-by-step through advanced fingerstyle, slap bass, hybrid picking, tapping, and two-handed percussive techniques.

What you’ll learn:

• Develop rhythmic fluency using Konnakol to internalise complex subdivisions
• Master odd-note groupings (3, 5, 7 and beyond) with natural flow and confidence
• Treat the bass as a percussive instrument using advanced two-handed slap concepts
• Unlock hybrid fingerstyle techniques for speed, clarity, and ergonomic efficiency
• Build harmonically rich lines using guide tones, tensions, and shape-based vocabulary
• Control time feel, micro-timing, note length, and silence to create deeper groove
• Improve speed safely through relaxation, efficiency, and rhythmic control
• Apply everything directly to full songs, grooves, and musical phrases

A Modern Method for the Modern Bassist

This is not a traditional bass technique book, it’s a blueprint for developing rhythmic intelligence, musical control, and your own personal voice. Every bass concept is taught through real music, helping you bridge the gap between advanced ideas and practical bass playing.

Audio & Video

With downloadable audio examples and backing tracks included, you’ll hear and feel exactly how these bass techniques are meant to sound, making your practice sessions focused, musical, and inspiring.

As a special bonus, you’ll also have access to Mohini’s video walkthroughs of each section of the tunes, as well as a full-speed playthrough.

If you’re ready to push beyond conventional bass playing and develop a fearless, rhythm-driven approach to the instrument, Advanced Electric Bass Technique will challenge you, expand you, and transform the way you play.
