I'm incredibly excited to introduce my new book Complete Fingerstyle Bass Technique, available on PDF, Kindle, and paperback.
I wrote this book because the number one question I get is, "what do I learn first on bass?". I would say technique is the most common element for beginner bassists to tackle. Put simply, if you have decent technique, the bass won't be a struggle for you.
Good technique leads to effortless playing which leads to enjoyment, momentum, and ultimately, success on your bass playing journey!
Here's my short promo video. Scroll below it to see the book contents.
