How refreshing to see something new and interesting
for bass guitar! Noel Redding's years as the bass
guitarist for Jimi Hendrix put him at the forefront of
the rock explosion of the 1960s. His style
revolutionized bass playing and propelled the electric
bass toward a degree of freedom not heard before.
The book includes a demonstration CD narrated by
Noel. It has a fun feel to it, starting with the basics
of electric bass playing including tuning, musical
rudiments, open strings and basic positions. It moves
quickly into playing 12-bar blues, runs in minor keys,
Motown and Do-Wop patterns, and a special selection of
Noel's favorite hard rock licks, including some from his
days with Jimi.
With liner notes written by Paul McCartney and John
Entwistle, this is truly the stuff of legends.
Rest in peace, Noel.
