SINGLE STRING STUDIES FOR BASS GUITAR  VOLUME TWO

by Bruce Arnold

This book is a continuation of the course presented in Single String Studies Volume One and will continue to lay a foundation for truly virtuosic technique and performance. The exercises in this volume take this technique to a new level by introducing intervallic single string lines based on pitch class sets 013, 015, 016, 026 and 027.  These intervallic melodic lines can help a player begin to hear these advanced lines while picking up some great ideas for soloing and composing along the way.  If you are serious about your instrument, learning how to read, developing new ideas and developing a total mastery of the fretboard you've come to the right place. This book can work in tandem with audio examples that can be downloaded from Muse-eek.com, which will greatly aid in the absorption of information and the building of skill. Exercises for each string are presented in all keys. The book culminates in a final section which integrates playing on all four strings. This book is a required text at New York University and Princeton University Music Department.  65 page book.
