Hal Leonard Publications
Essential Techniques, Concepts, and Applications for Metal Bassists
Author: Alex Webster
Artist: Cannibal Corpse

As the bassist for the death metal band Cannibal Corpse, author Alex Webster offers invaluable insight into the realm of metal bass guitar. This book 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 an enhanced audio CD with demonstration and play-along tracks of all the examples in the book, plus play-along MIDI drum files for optimum practicing.

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.
