"In the days of our grand parents, the books used to teach reading were called "primers." Hamm has produced an excellent primer for the study of bass guitar. It is a product of [...] and maintains the same high standard of instructional clarity as do their other products. The downloadable pdf files used with the DVD formated video, combine to help to make this product a very solid resource for the beginning bass player. The course starts by describing the parts of a bass and includes all the particulars of nomenclature, amp choices, changing strings, and other rudimentary elements. It progresses through the study of octaves, the major scale, the minor scale, the mixolydian scale, and arpeggios. The course gives a beginner plenty of tools to develope solid skills. Definitely a "must have" for the beginning bassist."
