Every single aspect of Mark's bass line writing process is covered: chord analysis, fretboard mapping, composing lines with harmonics and tapping, voicing chords, mixing different techniques together, and an entire chapter on Mark's personal philosophy for the role of the bass in modern rock and metal music.
ADVANCED ROCK BASS includes ten backing tracks, each featuring a unique key center and chord progression, so you can immediately begin to incorporate Mark's techniques into your own playing!
