Funk bass guitar lesson CD-ROM

 by Manic Wave Design. Features five lessons:

- "Slap Exercises" with 12 exercises to get you warmed up

- "Funk Lesson", a lesson geared toward the style of Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers

- "Funk Lesson #2" another slap lesson based on the chord changes to the Jimi Hendrix classic
  "Purple Haze"

- "Harmonics Lesson" based on the style of the jazz great Jaco Pastorius

- "Slap & Tap" lesson based on the style of Les Claypool of Primus.

Each lesson features tablature, high quality mpeg video showing a professional bassist playing the examples, an mp3 track of the bassline played along with a guitar and drums, and a "playalong" track minus the bassline for you to play along with. Also features a tuning section to make sure you're at correct pitch.

Any bassist interested in playing in the style of bands like Korn or Incubus to the jazz of Weather Report should definitely check out this cd-rom. Anyone from a beginner in the world of slap bass to a seasoned pro will walk away with some new ideas.
This "teach yourself bass" CD-ROM contains about 6 months worth of bass lessons at a low price, with the ability to revisit each lesson, play and pause the videos at your discretion, and practice at your own pace.
