Summary

Showcasing the tremendous, often unrealized potential of the bass guitar, Steve Bailey and Victor Wooten have put together this incredible recording, complete with transcriptions and lessons for each song. Steve and Victor demonstrate how the bass guitar can supply bass lines, piano and guitar type comping figures, lead solos and percussion parts, in styles ranging from Bebop to New Age to Heavy Metal. Each piece highlights different aspects of their amazing techniques, like Steve's three finger technique or his awe inspiring command of harmonics and chord voicings; or Victor's incredible funk grooves, thumb and two-handed tapping techniques. At the end of the song section of the recording, Steve and Victor walk you note-for-note through the licks and techniques that make up each song, explaining and demonstrating everything at slow speeds. All of the songs are fully transcribed and all music is written in standard notation and tablature. Book jacket.
