Shadows of Motown is one of the most essential

[@hdogm4442]

Hey Scott I'm 17 and have been playing for a few years now and I've learned more out of your videos than the years, thanks a ton. -Haidon

[@Frednethelcjrs]

Merry Christmas Scott, to you and your family. Josquin Des Pres was my bass teacher back in the 80's. Most of what I know about playing I learned from him. Cheers!

[@What_If_We_Tried]

Scott, I just started watching your channel a few weeks ago, and bought a P-Bass last week, so I really appreciate this vlog. Thanks so much...

[@madbuzz90]

"For Whom The Bass Tolls" by Ernest Shedsallday is a great book

[@chensiding0]

I forgot about David Liebman. Amazing sax player. Thanks for the list. I'm learning to read sheet music for bass (on bass clef) coming from Bb trumpet (treble). Last sight read music about 15 years ago, so I need to relearn for bass clef.

[@FabrizioPeretti]

I'm a guitar player. First real night with a bass, just today. It was super fun! Your content are very cool man thx!

[@jackgrasseljilljensen3076]

THANK YOU SIR. I've been looking for more things to practice.

[@pleximanic]

Effortless mastery by kenny werner is the one you REALLY need!

[@Don19762]

I'm surprised there's not the Hal Leonard Bass Method?? Also Ed Frieland. People praise it a lot.

[@slugware]

[@JoeSax]

"The Evolving Bassist" - Rufus Reid

[@sm26801]

Serious Electric Bass by Joel DiBartolo and Jaco Pastorius Method Book by Ray Peterson

[@Kayfabedreamsmusic]

Scott...just to confirm - I'm guessing all the material in the Charlie Parker book was originally intended for instruments in B flat?

[@gregsengcorner23]

Yes

[@sm26801]

No E flat alto!

[@stanislawrybinski]

I definitely have to buy some of these! And I have a question: did you have a chance to check out Janek Gwizdala's books?

[@Sarvlosify]

What about Improvisers bass method by chuck sher?

[@snackersnew]

[@oldleatherstocking3185]

[@MusicStudent1]

No “Modern Electric Bass Method” by Roger Filiberto? I enjoy the old stuff from that book.

[@oldleatherstocking3185]

#15 Hal Crook's "How To Make A Sideways BLT".

[@subhammax196]

[@KanjyBass]

Good review general , but think it miss one slap book in the top 10 ;)

[@MeticulousGuitarist]

[@sm26801]

I recommend Thumb Bassics by Jonas Hellborg

[@jakebloor]

Hey Scott! Thanks for the video man. I have a quick question, you mentioned Berklee a few times in this video, but at one point you said 'Or it might be the other one'. I'm just wondering which other music college that would be? Cheers :)

[@_omega420]

He might've meant University of California, Berkeley

[@fordwindsor351]

How about one of the best sellers, " Bass Guitar for Dummies "?

[@hahabass]

Ed Friedland. Love him.

[@basmorssink5487]

Are all those books written in tabs or in notes?

[@hahabass]

Notes mostly.

I bought a book called the Bass Bible years ago and it was sooo good, but for the life of me I can't find it anywhere in my house :-(

[@theycallmejpj]

that was by paul westwood, i had the same book, extremely useful for illustrating a broad range of genres

[@BaskytarovaPosilovna101]

The title should be more like Top 15 Books for JAZZ Bass Players

[@bassman3235]

[@benjaminschwartz5277]

[@invisible-d8789]

[@caskobain97]

[@oldleatherstocking3185]

No they're not. Lots of people like good information, why don't you?

[@flipflopmcgurt3403]
