This book is the sixth in a series of books written by UK bassist Marek Bero. The Bass Gym books are written to help you develop your playing skills and understanding of theory simultaneously, whilst inspiring your creativity as well.

In this latest addition to Bass Gym 101 series of books, you will find everything that you need to know in order to become a solid and desirable bass player in the shortest time possible. In order to be able to produce a good sound on the bass, you need to understand its role and function in different musical styles, as well as master the basic playing techniques. Your tone, groove and taste in creating the basslines will have a significant effect on the music. Together with the drums, you form the backbone of the band: you are the driving force of the song and you create the necessary bridge between rhythm, harmony and melody.
