Chord Studies for Electric Bass (Workshop (Berklee Press))

Rating:
Summary: Good information, but very hard to understand and use
Review: I purchased this very hopeful it would help me advance my playing. But, while the technical information is excellent, it's not easy to understand. Mostly it's just musical notation of lots of scales that directly relate to specific chords. Nothing really new or insightful.

As a REFERENCE book, this might be good, but not as a student workbook (the title says "Chord Studies" so I expected some form of lessons).

Another serious shortcoming is the lack of a CD. This compounds the problem of understanding WHAT the authors might be trying to offer as instruction.

Truth is, for the scales and chords presented in this book, a Bass Student could find all this on the Web, For Free.
