Standard notation and tablature

This book provides guidance for the bassist as well as the percussionist and rhythm guitarist on creating individual reggae grooves. The numerous challenging 2 and 4-measure rhythm patterns make a great rhythm reading workout, and the advice the author provides on equipment selection and rhythmic styles will be appreciated by the whole band.
Includes access to online audio featuring a full rhythm section both with and without the bass part, so you can jam as part of the group.
