Speed, Accuracy & Technique for Bass: Level 2

This book series is designed to gradually enhance three essential components of the modern bassist – speed, accuracy and technique. Regardless of the musical genre that you are exploring, whether it be jazz, blues, rock, metal, country or otherwise, these three categories should all be in harmony to allow you to play your best. The exercises contained within this series will not only train the fingers of your fretting hand, but will also enhance your picking techniques and create synonymous movement between the two. Speed, Accuracy & Technique for Bass: Level 2 is designed for intermediate bassists looking to advance their picking and fingering techniques. Because speed and clarity are essential elements to conquer at this stage of playing , the majority of this book is based around eighth note exercises. As you advance further, you will have to apply this increased speed to exercises that include frequent string switching, string skipping, and numerous finger patterns. The slide, hammer-on and pull-off exercises will help you gain solid control of your fretting hand to apply these techniques at ever increasing speeds, using any possible fingering.
