For best understanding of these techniques refer to Mel Bay's Blues Bass, Level 1 (MB21063BCD). Lastly, all the references in this book are written for a right-handed four string electric bass.

We will use standard music notation along with bass tablature (TAB) for this book. Includes access to online audio
