OldGit Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 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 [url="http://www.bassbook.co.uk/product.htm"]BassBook[/url] You get some free lessons too ... Bargain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauzero Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alun Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 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).

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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
