Thank you Al & Douglas, I thought about getting the patterns sorted by key and difficulty level but then again I thought: How did I work with my own bass books? I always started at the beginning, then jumped to the "funky" patterns, a little back and forth, never listened to the CD until I bought my next book. I did some research and it turned out most of my students and colleagues "worked" the same way. So I decided to do a book based on intuition rather than didactics. So that from beginner to pro everyone can just open the book on any page and start playing. I like to do so especially with my beginner students, they are totally scared when they open the book but when I pick an easy pattern they realize it's not difficult at all and then often they want to know more about notation and rhythm and never miss their TAB again 🙂. I also wrote down some thoughts about it on my website: https://en.alfredkallfass.de/buch My next book will be very sorted with a little more difficult patterns, starting easy, then getting more and more tricky towards the middle and then ending easy again. More like a real sight-reading workout for the hard workers 🙂 It's good to get some direct reaction, please feel free to suggest and criticise and if you find some mistakes in any book please let me know!

Thank you for your comment, Al Krow! It's always great to get some direct response to my book. I decided to not add backing tracks here. The intension was only to add chords so that everyone has to really work on the patterns using a piano, loop-station and/or drum machine - or even better play them together with living musicians 🙂. Like the studio players in the 60s. For me this is part of the fun somehow. But I totally agree that with backing tracks the more difficult patterns are easier to handle. So right now I am working on the backing tracks for a second book, coming out this year. And if we all get more Covid-holiday than needed in 2021 maybe there's even time to add some tracks for "Soul Essentials". I'll let you know in the forum! Viele Grüße Alfred -

I am pleased that "Soul Essentials" is getting so much positive feedback in the forum! There is now an add-on in the booklet, you can access the TAB via QR code. Anyone who is already reading can simply continue reading, if that is still difficult, simply take a look at the TAB on the go.

Hope you enjoy playing the Patterns as much as I enjoyed writing the book! Viele Grüße Alfred
