This exclusive book/online audio provides detailed, hands-on training, featuring vital bass guitar techniques and concepts. Extreme Metal Bass further demonstrates how these techniques can be applied in real-life situations within the context of a song. No matter what brand of metal you subscribe to from classic metal to modern metal and beyond Extreme Metal Bass will supply the bass skills you crave. Extreme Metal Bass also includes enhanced online audio with demonstration and play-along tracks of all the examples in the book, plus play-along MIDI drum files for optimum practicing. The audio is accessed online using the unique code inside each book and can be streamed or downloaded. The audio files include PLAYBACK], a multi-functional audio player that allows you to slow down audio without changing pitch, set loop points, change keys, and pan left or right. This book is designed for players who use a standard-tuned five-string bass (low to high: B-E-A-D-G). If you do not have a five-string bass, a four string (tuned B-E-A-D) will work for much of the material presented.
