REGGAE GROOVES

FOR ELECTRIC BASS

CHRIS MATHEOS

Bass Guitar TAB Book with CD

This book provides guidance for the bassist as well as the percussionist and rhythm guitarist on creating individual reggae grooves. The numerous challenging 2 and 4-measure rhythm patterns make a great rhythm reading workout, and the advice the author provides on equipment selection and rhythmic styles will be appreciated by the whole band. The attached CD features a full rhythm section both with and without the bass part, so you can jam as part of the group. Written in both standard notation and tablature
