Review
I found this book to be a really well planned, in-depth and articulate study of the walking bass concept. I recommend this book for those who are searching for the right answers on how to create a strong, solid and confident walking bass line. I am now personally excited to schedule ‘Walking Bassics’ into my own study rotation. JIMMY HASLIP (bassist with the Yellowjackets) –personal correspondence
