"Back to the crossroads?"
This book is a great introduction to Blues Bass, with both Bass clef and tab. The CD has the bass on the left track only, so when you want to "join in" you can cut the bass. The songs used represent a good cross-section of Blues, including Chicago, Texas and New Orleans styles.

This book is NOT an introduction to Electric Bass, and it is NOT a complete education in Blues Bass. It is what it says it is: "A Guide to the Essential Styles & Techniques" of Blues Bass.

My first bass was a modified Kay acoustic guitar with salvaged flat-wounds from a friend's Fender Bass. It was horrible, but a real bass guitar and amp cost $500 in 1962 (about $4000 in today's dollars). After 2 months and 4 lessons, I bought a used '51 Precision bass (built in '55) and joined a rock band. In '65 I put my music career on hold, got a day job and became respectable (wife, kids, dog, job).

A year ago, the Blues bug bit me, and I got a bass and amp. If you get bit by this bug, and you want to play Blues, put on a set of flat-wounds, rip that tweeter out of your speaker cabinet, and buy this book! You'll be well on your way!

"Fabulous Blues Bass Book", Ed Friedland might not be the most famous bass player around but he is in my book the best bass education book writer. Blues Bass takes you step by step from simple blues lines to more complex songs. The tab is very helpful for somebody who has a hard time to read music and the play along CD really helps. As an adult in my mid 40's struggling to learn bass the help he conveys through is book has been invaluable. Yes I do have a bass teacher but working on his Ed Friedland's material with my teacher is really terrific. I have also used his "Bass Grooves" book and Blues Method 1, 2 and 3 books. All of them take you very progressively from simple things to more complex one. Many books push too many things at the same time at their audience. This author has a real talent for breaking things down into bites that are manageable. The song selection of Blues Bass is also fantastic and allows the student to learn songs that are fun to play. I should also say that it is quite extensive and it covers pretty much all the standards. This book should be part of any bass library, it's a great book for learning and it's a great reference book, who knows "Born under a bad sign" or "Stormy Monday" might be on your next play list!
Thank you Mr. Friedland for a fantastic book, you have really helped me learn the blues.


"Not disappointed again.", I got some other more sophisticated (I.e. Jazz) bass book by Mr. Friedland, and I didn't like it at all, probably because I don't like Jazz, since it came after the blues form. This blues bass book is just fine for my rudimentary bass learning needs. Good front cover photo of a bass I would buy in a second if you could get one new made U.S.A.

"Great book!", Every book by Ed Friedland is great value for money. This one is no exception to the rule. Get this book if you want to play blues bass. I would recommend it for beginners.

"Blues Bass - Ed Friedland is the man!", Ed did a great job with this one. Well thought out and presented, this book may be the only one you need to get you up and running in the Blues / Rock format. The play along songs and examples are first rate. If you already know how to hold a bass and tune up then this book will teach you some essential blues standards. There are enough full songs presented for a good set list. Two thumbs up! I would also reccomend the Hal Leonard R&B Bass by Glenn Letsch. Tab and notation.

"excellent compendium of blues styles", This bass blues book is excellent. Why? Because it has a great variety of styles-from Chicago to New Orleans to Texas blues! And the CD makes it even better. It also has more than several variations for most of the examples, great slow blues, and great blues classics. Also included are variations for endings and turnarounds. There are 43 examples on the CD, covering the good ol' blues up into more rock blues. There is a great version of "Stormy Monday" on this that I just play the heck out of! This is certainly a HIGHSIERRABASSPLAYER must buy! Thanks Ed!
