Bass master Ron Carter illustrates the basic concepts of creating bass lines on upright bass (acoustic bass). The book begins with technique builders then explains how to construct lines using non-harmonic tones and diverse rhythms. Discover the secrets behind playing in fast tempos and the key to developing good pitch and tone.

Ron uses 15 blues tracks (both minor and major forms plus varying time signatures) to help you build better 'chops' over this harmonically simple but very common form.

The accompanying CD features Ron performing all the sample written lines as well as playalong tracks for you to jam with.
