Music Theory for the Bass Player by Ariane Cap

[5544]

This book has been released just a short time ago. I am waiting for my copy to arrive. This beginner has gained so much useful & easy to digest information already just by watching a few of her Bass Bits for the Brave & TrueFire videos on Youtube.

I also find her to be a very good video teacher/instructor. She has a way of clearly presenting the info in a manner that makes sense, not to mention the useful exercises.

I love this book and her teaching style, it has me actually taking my time to ensure I understand the material.

There are a few tiny errors I found in the book that had me working extra hard to make sure I understood the material.

On Page 20 Chapter 3:
Test Your Understanding #3, Determine the interval name, section h) 'D-G ascending' results in a 'perfect fifth ascending' (answer page 162). Its actually a fourth.

The last example in section h) on page 20 says Dx -F# (D double #) ascending, which I would guess a diminished 3rd and the answer page 162 says Dx - G# ascending as a diminished 4th. I think the dim 4th is correct for the G#.

I sent these to her for verification, so they might be fixed, but just in case....
She is awesome!
