Totally awesome book. You'll want to be reading a little but it is a great book to work on reading with, as well as the walking and improvising that are the focal point of the study. It is tremendous, broken down into parts and gone over in detail, the form is made easy to understand and the print is clear and easy to read. You WILL learn this stuff if you work on this book. Good for upright bass players AND electric bass players ... show more

    • Great Book. Gershwin would be proud
Book two of Constructing Walking Bass Lines is on rhythm changes. The great thing about this series is the emphasis put on playing in every key, which is necessary for any jazz musician. Like book one of this series, book two provides many common ways to approach constructing a walking bass line. Part one breaks down the structure and form of rhythm changes by section. There are examples of all of the common ways to approach rhythm changes, the various chord substitutions that you will encounter and provides you with the smoothest voice leading variations possible. Part two focuses on the A section of the progression. Common progressions are covered here using the various devices covered in the previous chapter. The third chapter is focused on the bridge section. It also covers secondary dominant and substitution chords that can be used as well. Part 4 is rhythm changes in 12 keys implementing all of the techniques and devices demonstrated in the previous chapters. Playing through this book will improve any advancing bass players technique and fluidity on the instrument by light years. This book demonstrates all the common ways to play rhythm changes that you will encounter. It provides the bassist with many tools to approach constructing an interesting and creative accompaniment to the tune, while at the same time improving your endurance, time, and leaving the door open for you to be as creative as you like by using any combination of the numerous devices demonstrated. I would advise bass players of all levels to play through this book. ... show more

    • A very Comprehensive and Practical Method for beginner and intermediate/advanced bass players
I am highly recommending Steven Mooney's method for Constructing Walking Bass Lines Book I The Blues in 12 Keys, Book II Rhythm Changes in 12 Keys and Book III Standard lines which I purchased mid July and I am eagerly awaiting Book IV. If you can read music a little bit or read TAB, this is the Method for YOU. Steven's approach is masterly crafted to ensure that you are playing strong Bass Lines right out of the Gate in all Twelve Keys with numerous exercises to reinforce each and every concept whether Theoretically and/or Harmonically in a very Comprehensive and Progressive approach including clearly written directions of the various concepts for the thoroughly written out exercises. As we all know, we all learn by doing. Steven's method provides numerous exercises to keep each and every aspiring Bassist enthuse about Learning and Creating Walking Bass Lines. I have worked with literally over twenty different method books and Steven Mooney's approach is definitely the best of the best that I have worked with. It is very player friendly throughout and it is masterfully crafted! In addition to a lifetime's work going into creating these books more importantly is the willingness to patiently share this knowledge with others that makes all the difference and Steven should be very, very proud of that accomplishment. In addition I am truly having the time of my life with these books and I have only just begun!!! So many varied exercises to reinforce the concepts, techniques and sight reading among others! Moreover, it is a lot of FUN! Steven SHARES the Mysteries of Understanding and Creating Melodic Walking Bass Lines. I personally find it challenging to stay away from his books but I know I should actively be working on Simandl, Ray Brown, Rufus Reid, Harvey Vinson, John Goldsby, Chuck Sher, Ed Friedman, Bunny Brunel, Bob Magnusson, James Jamerson and Jamey Aebersol methods as well!!! Enjoy! ... show more
