Book Reviews of 101 Bass Tips: Stuff All the Pros Know and Use (Bass Instruction)
Book Review: Great Book - A must buy IMO
Summary: 5 Stars
The first reason you should buy this is: Gary Willis is one of the best, most creative, cutting edge bassists out there. What he plays can sometimes be too far out for a lot of people, but he doesn't compromise and in that sense is a true artist. For that reason alone you should buy it - so the royalty helps him carry on being an artist!
But you should also buy it because it's got some really interesting tips in it. Stuff that you might not need now, but when you need it will save you hours, or days, or weeks of searching around for an answer.
There's tips on all sorts of things in here, fretless playing, soloing, strings, false harmonics, transcription, boiling strings (!), all sorts. There's no order - but that's one of the book's charms (IMO).
It's modestly priced - it's worth reading through once, making a mental note of the contents, and then coming back to periodically to help solve problems, or to give a new angle on trying to solve problems.
Priceless.
And Gary Willis gets a royalty.
Sound cool?
