Book and CD set Has drums and piano on one side, bass on the other on the CD. Course starts simple and gets you into walking bass in a variety of keys. Having good quality track to play with really sounds good and helps you keep good time. I would have liked a little more on blues, bluegrass, country and rock, but if you can do the jazzy things in here you can certainly play most blues and rock. I think most bassists could benefit from working through the book - the exercises get more challenging, and it is fun to play along with the CD. I was lucky to find it used in excellent condition at a book sale at a library - so keep your eyes open for cool things like that!

Simply amazing instructional book. Starts off at the beginning with the basics, and goes through steps to teach you how to walk. Anyone can learn with this book, it was honestly one of the most valuable things in my bass-education.
