It took me forever to find them, but there are RUclipss for every one of your number one choice, the 3 Hal Leonard books in one, that have all of the backing tracks. I can't believe they didn't publicize this on Amazon. I wasted hours trying to figure out how to get to the backing tracks because in this day and age there is no CD. Why don't they just say so in the book or send an email or something like that or put that small detail on Amazon. Backing tracks can be found on RUclips!
I've got both the Ed Friedland books - that guy knows how to write a bass tuition book (think I've got 6 or 7 of his books). I can recommend a good starter bass reading book by Stuart Clayton called "The Bass Guitarist's Guide to Reading Music - Beginner Level".
Thanks for the great info. The books definitely seem worth checking out.
Thanks for the info!
Thanks for posting this!
Cool info Ted💪🏾
Thanks for the vid ✌
Thank You for this video :)
Thank you sir!
Thanks, Ted!
Good to know.
thansk for your reaview
this video was great, it would be super cool for a similar video for more advanced players!
Will do!!
Went to Dale's channel dropped your name he said
" Ted is the man "
I like his style I think I can learn a lot from him
You seemed trustworthy among all the other videos so I purchased the Hal Leonard complete guitar and bass books. I'm love playing both on Rocksmith and with tabs, but I have no formal training, so hopefully they'll be a good push for me 💖
The hal leanord company has always put out great content. Let me know how it goes.
Serious Electric Bass by Joel diBartolo! A Must!!!
I have a second edition Hal Leonard composite book set but mine is written by Dan Dean. Do you feel this edition is comparable to the Ed Friedland edition?
Yo! Thanks for the reminder. Ariane Cap is set to be an instructor at GVBBC this year. We had a Zoom meeting a couple weeks ago and she mentioned the book. I could buy one there but since YOU reccomend it, I ordered it right away.
Ari is good peeps. I’ve known her for many years
@@TedTalksBass Oh yeah. She's nice. Stayed on the zoom for awhile. Chatted with people. I can't wait to meet her in person. Also I'm looking forward to meeting Freekbass.
I’ve been using Harry Potter books because it’s gonna take some stone cold magic to get my intermediate ass playing better.
Your intermediate “ass playing!?” Lol
@@TedTalksBass The butt trumpet is a powerful instrument
I work at a music school and the Hal Leonard Bass book is a common staple for new bass students but I always tell teachers to not make it the only thing you teach from. Because if all a student is doing is learning through that book on its own, they will probably get really tired of it really quickly. The first few pages in my opinion are frankly not that enjoyable to learn, but there are a lot of good exercises so I think doing it in tandem with a student along with recognizable songs that are easy on bass is the best way for a student to begin learning without, frankly, getting really bored.
Facts
@@switch1e In the beginning I was looking for some easy known songs to play on the bass, but after I found on RUclips the tracks from Hal Leonard books, I just had fun learning those and I don't mind taking it step by step.
@@mini_skinny0296 yeah honestly that helped me a lot later on. I think the hal Leonard bass method exercises can often be a bit boring on their own, but with the backing tracks a lot of them make for cool basslines, especially in book 2 and book 3
The one book that I think you're missing is Carol Kaye's "Electric Bass Lines" #3. Even after 30 years of playing, when I come back to this book, I find it engaging & challenging. I've seen book 1, meh, sadly haven't looked at 2, 4 or 5. But book 3 covers all your keys, major scales, exercises for sight reading, chords & some basic riffs that all bass players need. Good for any level of bass players too!
*my* favorite books doc hahah. Where you been Fred?! You’re right, Carol’s book is great from what I’ve seen but I don’t have any personal experience with it. Hope you’re well man!

@@TedTalksBass I keep on keeping on, putting heads on straight & getting sick people well. Trying to publish some research, work on my kettlebells & keep my playing going. Also going back thru some of the books I've had over the years. Thinking about breaking out Simandle & Rufus Reid's Evolving Bassist too!
Also Mel Bay publications
I have the hal leonard bass method 1, 2, 3 but don't really know how to practice correctly. What tempo is enough , how many times do I need to practice perfectly before going to next lesson?
My experience is that Two weeks on, two weeks off works best. I've seen this in many autobiographies. You have to give your mind a certain amount of time to process what you have learned. Like planting a seed. After Two weeks, see what you have retained. Don't look at the music, just play from Memory. You will have to do this eventually. You can learn too much for your mind to process, so what you remember is actually a key to figuring out your own best Method. And if you just settle into that, then you will begin to take in larger and larger amounts of material without forcing your mind, like in my case a 4bit processor to try and assimilate at the rate of a 16- or 32-bit processor. Small Iconic Chunks of Material, and try to see how they fit into Major, Minor, Diminished, Whole Tone and Altered. Those are the main Color Palettes. As for Tempo. My learning Tempo is anywhere from 22 to 40bpm, pretty slow, but I take that and increase it by half, then half again, then drop back a 1/4. I repeat that process till I'm playing at a bout 4 times as fast as my learning tempo, then I drop back to 3 Times as fast and try to nail that perfectly. Here is an example:

Do metal bass books exist? Just curious cause I know there's the jazz ones and the blues onses and stuff
Alex Webster from Cannibal Corpse has a book put out by Hal Leonard. If you want to learn Death Metal bass it’s the best book to have.
I love Ariana’s bass
Mel Bay was my starter kit Lol
Fundamental Concepts for Walking Bass by George Urvaszek
I have your #1 choice and not a real fan of it. It is not an easy book to work with for a beginner. I prefer, "Bass Guitar" from Progressive by Gary Turner and Brenton White. It breaks things down to a beginner level.
So I hear making a comment helps you. I don't have anything to say but you know what?
CD ,DVD and books. What the hell is that LOL
