Hal Leonard Bass Method Book 2: Book/CD Pack (Hal Leonard Electric Bass Method) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There are two versions of this book. ISBN 079356378 comes with the CD. ISBN 079356378X does not come with the CD. Don't make the same mistake I did. I wanted the CD and had to return this book and reorder the correct version. Minus one star for Amazon packaging this in a special with Book 3 which comes with a CD while this one doesn't. Very misleading.

1001 Blues Licks: For All Treble Clef Instruments (Instrumental) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This 1000 blues lick book and the 1000 jazz lick book are some of the best values on this site for practising musicians. The blues book is broken up into styles and the jazz book is broken into progressions. Licks are the next step after scales. They are real life applications of scales. The blues licks are visceral and require vibrato. The jazz licks are longer and require dexterity and accuracy. There's no tab but you can do that for yourself as a memory aid. I'm not a great music reader but these are single lines and thus not difficult to read. Once you learn how to play the lick in one position you should learn most of these licks in at least two other positions which makes them easier to translate to other keys. You can also reverse and invert them for additional color. If you love lines and phrases as much as I do I'd recommend buying both books !
