Amazoman Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 Hi all, I have been playing bass for a while and can hold my own following chord sheets in the church band. I have my favourite shapes and often play the tonic, major 3rd, 5th and I like to put a 4th in. I usually play the first three notes of the minor scale if a minor chord obviously. I want to develop my abilities using pentatonics and know the 5 shapes but struggle to flow fluidly around them. Do you think the Janek Gwizdala book would be a big help or is there something better I should be looking at. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very in depth look at Pentatonics, so be prepared to put work in to get the most out of it. It's split into 3 sections: Bass clef notation, Tab, and Treble Clef notation. It also comes with a link to all the audio tracks & some video as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
