Common inharmonic keys are included as well. These etudes provide a musically pleasing framework in which to develop technical efficiency. The accompanying CD features performances of select etudes and should provide inspiration for study.

Creating
Jazz Bass Lines
In
this book the process of walking a bass line is demystified.
A fundamental approach which is used by all great players
is explored in depth.
This is one of my best selling books. Solid walking lines
will get you work and that is the goal of this book. Topics
include: Blues, II V I, Substitute Chords, Jazz piano voicings,
2-Beat, etc.
I recommend this book for guitarists also.

Reading
Bass Parts Vol. 1
Reading
Bass Parts is a new series
designed to make practicing fun.
Each
volume is a combination reading book / play-along CD. On
the CD you will hear each song twice. The first time you
can read along. The second time the bass is muted so you
can play the written part or improvise your own line. This
series is quickly becoming a big success in my teaching.
Featured on this recording is Joe Hunt - drums, Dino Govoni-
saxophone, and Lionel Loueke - guitar.

Reading
Bass Parts Vol. 3 features the bass in the traditional jazz
trio setting. With walking lines, two beat songs, a couple
of Latin lines, and a few melodies and solos, all students
who have played this material so far have loved it!

exceptional tool. You will not find a better time-keeper
and accompanist to work with. How do you get the experience
needed to work gigs with good players? Play along with Dom.
He's available.

Reading
In Bass Clef
Reading
In Bass Clef is a developmental method for learning
to read music. Emphasis is placed on developing hand position
and fingerboard knowledge. Included are style studies and
ten duets.
I
feel this is the best book I have written. The inability
to read music well stifles many students growth. This is
often because of the absence of a comprehensive approach.
Reading In Bass Clef is good sounding music with a purpose!
