Bass Technique Finger Gym: Build stamina, coordination, dexterity and speed with essential bass exercises (Learn how to play bass)

I read all the reviews before purchasing. I dont think any book will teach you every thing. I have 3 other types of workout books for bass. And since I also have no knowledge of music. And short attention span. I finding it helpful and how its laid out is helpful. Yes some exercises are on others. Just more ammo for your arsenal of bassKnowledge. Considering there's a lot of downloadable help is cool to. Its one of the cheaper priced books of this type. You can't go wrong. Dont worry you won't quit the bass and start playing the oboe.

Although it may be better to have the beginner do it themselves, the only things I would change is adding letter notations to the tabs, and a complete fretboard chart.

I refuse to give a fellow musician a bad rating but the book is lacking . Not a lot of instruction or substance . It's basically a warmup book or maybe brush up on some really basic theory with this book and the theory is very limited too. I got through the book in a couple of days , knew most everything in it and didn't pickup anything from it. I got it used and didn't pay a lot for it. I have another book on order , I hope it's better. I've purchased a few instruction books over the years and most of them are very similar to this one. I have found a couple of gems though . I am mainly a guitarist but trying to learn ideas for bass. This book didn't have them.

Bought it for a gift. He liked it. It was in excellent condition and arrived timely.

always looking for different types of finger routines to make the exercises more fun many types and a wide variety.

Great tool for practice

Great book for any level of player. Use it daily and you will see a dramatic improvement in your playing and finger dexterity.

Helping develop my fretting fingers so it is a good buy.

I have far too many bass books - but I am so glad I bought this one. The practice routines I use evry day and have built up finger strength noticeably over the last two months.Highly recommended - the exercises are fun to do and useful mini-licks can be incorporate in your playing.

Superb little book for bass exercises. Only had this for a couple of weeks but it has helped my finger dexterity no end. Just wish I found it 3 years ago. If you're wanting to advance your playing, wether a beginner or more experienced player then I wholly recommend this book.

Love this book, great exercises and really helping with my dexterity. I would certainly recommend this book to any beginner like me or someone looking to advance. The chapters are broken down to Small bite size parts and best of all the exercises are written in both bass clef and tab!

Yeah does what it's supposed to do....just put the effort in & you'll soon catch on & learn.....is good though..well I've found it beneficial already so get cracking Guy's & Girls .

very easy to use, understand the scales and positioning of the fingers well explained
