This book captures the essence of his approach to teaching bass in a clear and concise manner; starting with the basics (note names locations); tuning; scale harmonizations; through analyzing key centers and scale/chordal patterns over specific chord progressions that utilize the entire range of the instrument. One particularly helpful point is the fingering options. Some technique books recommend a set fingering pattern; the author shows several fingering variations for the same pattern. Thats especially useful since theres often more than one way to play the same thing. The exercises are easily adapted to real-world playing situations. Its also a great reference for teachers who have a depth of knowledge of harmony theory. The section on developing walking bass lines is relatively basic (no pun intended) but will start the student on the path with excellent pointers. For a more in-depth and specific study of how to develop walking bass lines I would highly recommend Bob Magnussons "The Art Of Walking Bass"; also by Musicians Institute Press.

Learning bass fret board techniques made understandable.By Mark Randolph HenryThis book; for me; is an additional extension to learning fret board technique and music theory as applied to bass music. I really love this one!!!!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A must for the beginning bassistBy JByrne3This is quite simply one of the easiest books to follow. Paul Farnen gets you on your way with easy to follow diagrams to better understand the theory of the bass guitar. He has made my learning experience more pleasurable and given me the confidence and knowledge to become a better bassist. I have plenty of books pertaining to bass theory but this book by far is the most comprehensive. My advice; buy this book you wont be sorry.
