Our Teachers' Review
The Hal Leonard Bass Method by Ed Friedland is the most widely used bass guitar method in the world, and for good reason. It teaches proper technique, music reading, and groove-based playing simultaneously, so students develop well-rounded skills from the very beginning.
Our teachers use this book with every new bass student because it balances the practical (playing bass lines that sound great) with the educational (reading notation, understanding rhythm, learning fretboard geography). The online audio tracks let students hear and play along with every example, making practice sessions feel more like actual music-making.
