Book Reviews of What Duck Done
Book Review: A necessary book for any intermediate/pro bassist
Summary: 4 Stars
I kind of hesitate to give it 5 stars, but the transcriptions seem really good to me--though I heard a few of the Pickett's a little differently--and most of the tunes should be familiar to just about anyone who grew up hearing soul music now and then. I like the variety too. Some of the Sam & Dave, Pickett, Otis Redding and Eddie Floyd lines were "must-know" basslines but it was cool to see how Duck handled Albert and Freddie King's songs and some Muddy Waters as well.
It's pretty much just the 33 songs and 2 CDs. There are a few pictures and some notes about style in the back that I wish were embellished on both accounts, but nothing you'd really need. Duck's stuff was typically a little easier to play than Jamerson's so I'd recommend this BEFORE "Standing the Shadows of Motown" if you're still progressing as a player. I didn't do it that way, but as a result I found I could pretty much sight read this stuff with only a few errors here and there. The editing for fingerings is pretty minimal too, whereas the Jamerson has a lot more on that. But the transcriptions were in a much bigger font and that helps a ton. The sound quality of the CD could've been a little better too. Still, a fantastic book, especially for someone who plays guitar and wants to actually sound like a bassist and not a guitar player playing bass. You can't help but understand groove, how to work changes, what notes to accent etc.
