Hi All;

If you are new to GuitarNoise, you may not be aware of all the lessons and other articles that are available here (there are many!). In the Bass section, there are lessons on creating basslines, and advice on buying basses and amps.  Click here: https://www.guitarnoise.com/bass.php

If there is something you'd like to know more about and you don't see it there, feel free to post a request here.

-Laz

All lessons have been grouped under the "lessons" tab. Also on the home page you can use the itemized contents listing in the left column. They had to make room for the "forum" tab, you know!   ;)

Peace

chapter 8 sounding notes 102: two-hand tapping
chapter 9 scales 101: blues scale, minor & major pentatonics

Book II

chapter 10 scales 102: the modes of the major scale
chapter 11 scales 102: moveable scale forms

chapter 12 theory 101: chord construction & inversions

Pretty nice book. Just read the first one so far. That Wheat guy is nice for putting that out for free. He belongs here at GN!
