BASS PLAYER Q&A

Questions and Answers about Listening, Practicing, Teaching, Studying, Gear, Recording, Music Theory, and More

Here’s a Q&A (question and answer) book for beginner and intermediate bass players looking for answers to various music-related questions. It’s a collection of answers compiled by me — and other professional musicians — about playing your instrument as a hobby, on a part-time basis, and eventually as a professional, if that’s what you want. The topics in this book cover everything from how to practice, how to get more gigs, and how to approach different styles of music. It also covers specific ideas about basses and bass-related gear, and various broader issues dealing with basic music theory for all musicians, practicing, issues about taking and teaching bass lessons, and the process of recording at home and in a professional recording studio.
