Featuring both standard notation and TAB, it offers precise fingering, exercises, and advanced musical concepts like arranging and rhythm, making it an essential resource for bassists aiming to expand their technique and tonal range. ## Description How low can you go? The 5-string bass stretches the limits of normal bass playing to give you notes that are needed for many styles of contemporary music---including gospel, Latin, funk, metal, and pop. This book teaches you how to incorporate the 5th string into all these styles and more. You'll learn how the 5th string can open up new fingering possibilities and allow you to play a wider range of pitches economically---without moving your left hand up and down the neck. Opening your mind to these new possibilities is just a start; the bottom line of playing 5-string is playing notes you can really feel! All examples are notated in both standard music notation and TAB, and the online audio included with the book allows you to hear the examples and play along. Review: great book - very instructional, very intuitive, and detailed illustration, and a good review of regular bass techniques and organized 5-bass skills, and more importantly, it also teaches lots of non-bass techniques, such as arranging, orchestration, rhythm, and so on. Correspondent audio is good to listen too. Review: A must have. - This is a excellent book to start you on your way to understanding the basics of bass playing. No other book I have bought, with all the available scales have included the proper fingering for the scales. It is important to have proper fingering. Also all the combination of finger strengthen exercises are included. This should never be taken for granted. Intervals, Diatonic harmony; triads, 7th chords are discussed. And few other things. This is a really good book to have. Kudos Sharon Ray. ## Features - Format: Book & Online Audio - Instrument: Bass Guitar - Category: Bass Guitar Method or Supplement - Contributors: By Sharon Ray - Pub Date: 7/2008 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #944,929 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,978 in Guitars (Books) #4,505 in Music Instruction & Study (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 91 Reviews | ## Images ![5-String Bass: Taking Your Playing to New Lows, Book & Online Audio (National Guitar Workshop) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81H5wcRTiwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great book *by B***G on August 8, 2023* very instructional, very intuitive, and detailed illustration, and a good review of regular bass techniques and organized 5-bass skills, and more importantly, it also teaches lots of non-bass techniques, such as arranging, orchestration, rhythm, and so on.
