Christmas Tunes for Solo Bass - Alun's book

[OldGit]

He's a modest fellow so I'll just tell you all about Alun's Christmas Tunes arrangements - melodies and flashy chordal stuff, Dots and Tab.
There's 10 Christmas Classics that you could learn for your turn at the family Christmas dinner performance and wow them all

He has it for sale (electronic download) a very reasonable £3 from

You get some free lessons too ...

Bargain!

[clauster]

Bought it just so that I can learn that version of Joy to The World!

[Alun]

Thanks Clauster - hope you enjoy

Cheers

I think allowing myself just over a year to learn that tapping version of "Jingle Bells" may be faintly optimistic, but we'll see.

Cheers Alun.

Festive bump

Just cheekily mentioning that this is stil available for a bargain £3 from [url="http://www.bassbook.co.uk/shop.htm"]http://www.bassbook.co.uk/shop.htm[/url] and also from [url="http://www.learnthelowend.com"]Learn The Low End[/url] ( which is a fab site if you've not been there - loads of good stuff!).

If you get it from Learn The Low End, it's immediately available, if you buy from Bassbook I'll email it to you as soon as I get to my laptop (usually within 24 hours at the absolute most).

Cheers
Alun

Can you put a demo mp3 back up?

I'm inclined to buy, just need that little extra persuading.

There's a rather drunk video of me playing silent night on the playing videos thread

[vmaxblues]

I bought this last year and it is well worth the money.

AH - this is what I needed to hear. Going to buy your book now - I hate christmas songs/carols etc. but was really interested in trying some solo bass stuff and the arrangement of O Holy Night on that page there seems excellent to me.

Cheers mate.

Volume 2 next year?
