Comb-bound fundamental Latin Bass Patterns book and CD by Larry McCabe

Temporary fads come and go, but Latin music styles are a permanent fixture on the contemporary music scene.

Encompassing a wide range of regional styles from South America, Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean, and often permeated with African or Spanish influences, Latin music has woven itself into all popular styles including rock, country, jazz, blues, and variety-band music.

Because Latin bass patterns are an important part of most popular musical styles, they are mandatory in the repertoire of all bass guitar players. This book contains 101 fundamental Latin-style bass patterns presented in a quick-access format.

The Latin bass patterns taught here are primarily played on the fundamental tones of the chord, which makes them technically accessible to the ambitious beginner. Early-intermediate players will also enjoy the wealth of simple but valuable ideas found here. The patterns can be played on both the electric and acoustic bass guitar.

Each pattern is written in tablature and standard notation, and recorded note-for-note at a moderate speed on the companion audio CD.

In addition to the generous number of one- and two-measure patterns in various time signatures, supplemental materials cover these additional topics: How to play variations, Intervals on the bass fingerboard, How to create variations for chord progressions, Chord progressions for practice.

This unique book is essential to any bass player learning the fundamentals. Prospective buyers are encouraged to use the Search Inside Book feature to examine the contents and music pages prior to purchase.

All this for a low price that is less than the cost of a single private music lesson.

Chord Progressions for Guitar: 101 Patterns for All Styles from Folk to Funk!

Popularity: 1%

Product Description

TAB, standard notation, performance notes, all licks recorded on CD.

This book is loaded with neat ideas.

Fingerstyle guitar playing is a unique experience that allows the guitarist to explore the full range of the instrument s emotional spectrum. Perhaps that is why this versatile style appeals to all age groups and music tastes.

Here you will learn 101 interesting and varied fingerstyle accompaniment patterns that are suitable for students, teachers, and working musicians. The patterns, which range from very easy to intermediate in difficulty, cover a wide variety of sounds applicable to popular music, folk, blues, country, and gospel guitar.

Because this is a collection not a graded method it is not necessary to work through the examples in chronological order. Simply find a pattern you like on the CD and try playing it on your guitar. If the chosen pattern is too difficult, save it for later and try another one now. You will soon find that this sort of exploration is both fun and instructional.

A lot of fingerpicking accompaniment books make the error of showing all patterns in a fixed chord position, but this is not actually how we fingerpick in real life. Thus, a number of the examples here have moving notes that add interesting motion to the basic harmony.

Each pattern is played four times at a moderate tempo on the companion CD. A drum count-off helps the user begin playing with the recorded pattern on the correct beat.

The patterns would appeal to any guitarist who enjoys listening to artists like James Taylor, John Denver, Merle Travis, Chet Atkins, the Indigo Girls, Mississippi John Hurt (although this is not strictly a blues book; for that, please see my 101 Mississippi Delta Blues Cottonpicking Guitar Licks), Peter, Paul and Mary, roots music, soft-to medium rock. It s a great book for any guitar player who just feels like noodling around with some new ideas.

Finally, the book contains a helpful essay, supplemented with examples, entitled Chord Theory 101. This section of the book will help the beginner with the rudiments of basic chord theory, chord embellishment, and the art of applying fingerstyle guitar accompaniments to real songs.

Overall, an excellent fingerpicking guitar reference book, and an excellent value.
