    5.0 out of 5 stars Quality bass chef reading book
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 27, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    I bought this book after watching some of Greg's bass shed lessons on YouTube. Greg draws on over 25 years professional playing, so you are learning from someone who has extensive experience. The book has 80 exercises in sight reading, something I feel I need to work on to improve my bass playing skills, and aid me reading some classic bass part books written only in standard notation. I recommend this book.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Solid, but too short
    Reviewed in Canada on January 13, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    The book itself is well put together, clearly articulated (except for a few typos), and suitable for beginner players looking to start reading music. I especially love how the notation is clear, and doesn't contain any tabs. I will say however that the exercises are far too short in length and a little too easy.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 18, 2021

    Excellent book. I use my copy primarily to help guitar students develop facility in reading the bass clef (as opposed to the usual treble) as it’s a useful skill.
    This book is clear and precise, & a lot of the exercises deal with common chord/harmony progressions, so students develop knowledge of common moves as well as the more obvious target of improving their reading.
    Obviously written by someone who knows the subject thoroughly. Highly recommended.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to follow but like a lot of things you need to practice!

    The book is excellent, well written, starts with the basics and ideal as it says for beginners or experienced bassists who are learning to read
    music. I will definitely buy volume 2 as soon as it is available.
    Free audio down load of the exercises is good.
