Book Reviews of Complete Bass Guitar by Ear: 2 CD Relative Pitch Ear Training Course
Book Review: Good for recognizing notes by ear...
Summary: 3 Stars
I've been playing Bass for a year now, and I bought this two CD set (no book) hoping to really take my playing to the next level.
There are about 60 lessons in all, divided into Note Recognition, Finger Training, and Intervals.
The title is a bit deceptive, as the entire CD is based on a 4-string Bass, and has nothing to do with the 5th or 6th strings!
First, the good: The two CDs are good for helping you recognize different Bass notes and locating them anywhere on your Bass. You start with one string, find a note, then find another, until you can locate all the notes on that one string. Then you move onto the next string, until eventually you can find any note on any string. I find I can pick out notes more easily from songs and play along easier.(Unfortunately, this CD does not help at all with matching notes to what the guitarist is playing.)
The So-So: The Finger training exercises are really basic first-finger first-fret, second-finger second-fret exercise I didn't find useful at all, but maybe for a very beginner. The Interval training seems overly technical, and not really that useful for the playing Bassist. The author could spend more time explaining what these intervals are for! It does show you how to locate the same note on different strings I suppose. (The E on the open first string is also on the second fret at the third string, etc) but this will become quickly obvious to most Bass players who learn the notes on their Bass.
The Bad: The sound quality is good, but sometimes the sound drops out for a second or two, and some of the tracks sound like they were re-recorded over. Not a totally professional production.
