''Preface

A hearty welcome to you whether you're new to the bass player's guild or whether you've already got well developed callouses on the tips of your fingers. I'm glad you've decided to play bass. You made the right decision. The bass emerged from the shadows of its ''''oom-pah, oom-pah-one-and-three'''' existence long ago and has become a powerful and important instrument. The bass callisthenics of such players as Jack Bruce, Jaco Pastorius, Mark King or Billy Sheehan, which you most certainly have in your ear, impressively verify this fact. Even the ''''synth-sampler-computer'''' bass is slowly but surely becoming a thing of the past. Real and live bass playing is back in vogue.

I've tried to incorporate all these aspects of bass playing into this method book. lt's designed to help you along the path of becoming a better bass player. It doesn't matter whether you are a beginner and self-taught player who's only played within the comfort of his or her own home or whether you are an instrumentalist with band experience who may be presently taking or had some bass lessons already.

In the first part of this book I'll get you acquainted with the bass, give you a few tips on practicing and a few hints about technique. The second part is the most important section on the way to mastering the bass. Here you'll learn to feel ''''at home'''' on the bass. Learning to play in different positions will help you to do just that. The advantage of being able to do this is that, as you gradually move from position to position (from the open strings to the final fret), you'll get to know and have command of each and every note on the bass, from the very lowest to the very highest. You should always play through the position diagrams found at the beginning of each chapter as an additional exercise. ''''Dead notes'''' are important when it comes to precise rhythmical playing on the bass. These are normally left unmentioned in conventional bass method books or discussed only in connection with slap bass technique. I will familiarize you with this special method of picking and muting from the very beginning. The ''''dead notes'''' will be your constant companion in this volume.

There you'll find the respective names of the notes and their corresponding positions on the fingerboard. If it makes you feel more secure, just play an exercise that's on the CD by ear and compare it to the notation. This way you can train your ear as well. A good musician should be able to both read music and play by ear. As an extra treat in Part 11, I've included an introduction to fretless bass playing which is another indispensable technique of the accomplished bass player. In fretless playing, the double bass fingerings that I chose to use in this book from the beginning will turn out to be a big help. I conciously chose to use these fingerings (up to XII. Position) as opposed to guitar fingerings because in this range, the bass is tonally and functionally closer to an upright double bass than to a guitar (see p. 14).

In Part 11I, ''''Styles'''', we'll begin to use all the positions and techniques you learned about in Part 11.
