The Bass Player's Guide to Scales and Modes

Stuart Clayton

Do You Want to Scales, Modes and Arpeggios on the Bass?

The Bass Guitarist’s Guide to Scales & Modes is a complete reference manual featuring all of the scales, modes and arpeggios used by the modern bass guitarist.

Don’t Just Learn Scales – USE Them!

The construction of each scale and mode is covered in detail and the reader is encouraged to learn the content of the scale rather than the prescribed fretboard patterns found in other books. 'Real world' bass grooves clearly demonstrate the sound and use of each scale. This book is for bass players of all levels.

The book contains the following Audio Files

There are over 140 exercises in The Bass Guitarist’s Guide to Scales & Modes , and you can download the audio files free of charge from the publisher’s website. Each exercise is available in two WITH bass (so you can hear EXACTLY how it should sound), and WITHOUT bass , so you have a backing track to play along with.
