The aim of this two-workbook set is to provide bass players with a wide range of step-by-step exercises to improve the finger physical dexterity, in terms of strength, independence, agility and velocity.
This is an important goal to reach for a musician in order to free his own musical personality. I would therefore advise you to practice these exercises daily (two or three finger combinations per day), starting quite slowly and gradually increasing the metronome (or drum machine) speed. While playing, always keep a clean and well-defined sound together with a good rhythmic feel. Last but not least: keep on studying the harmonic-melodicrhythmic issues of your instrument and the different musical styles, so that your technical improvements make it possible to put into practice what is in your mind and what your body can feel!
