Ultimate Play Along Just Classic Jazz Bass Vol3 w/CD (Ultimate Play-Along) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you're looking for books on "how to" play bass or read music then skip this one.There's almost no instruction in this book, but what you do get is GREAT tab and notation for some standard jazz pieces.
This book is good for learning the traditional bass lines and for practicing your timing/tempo when there's no one else around.I wish the CD had two versions of each song (one with and one without bass), but it doesn't.For the price, though, this is a pretty good way to learn some songs and practice without having a full band in your garage.
Nine standard jazz pieces are covered.Each song comes with the actual tune on CD, the printed song with bass clef and tab, and if that weren't enough you also get the bass solo and lead sheet.
Be careful, though, the lead sheet is not in tablature, so you should already know (or be willing to learn) how to read traditional music notation.Fortunately, since the book includes both the full version (notation and tablature) you can easily go back and forth as you progress.The lead sheet is great for taking on stage since it has all the essentials for the song on one easy to read sheet.

Ultimate Play-Along Guitar Just Classic Jazz, Vol 1 (Book & CD) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The above review is in error: the CD does, in fact, contain backing tracks! Young people unfamiliar with stereo music may not understand that the accompanying music CD is recorded on two channels - solos on the left channel, rhythm on the right. To hear the backing track alone, simply turn your stereo balance to the right, or feed only the right channel out from your CD player. That said, this is a terrific jazz course, giving the student many performance-quality classics to learn. Both chord-melody and solos are first rate. Highly recommended for the talented beginner/intermediate jazz player.
