Andrew Ford’s 30 Rock Bass Grooves for Beginners is a versatile collection of timeless rock bass lines and grooves. ”I’ve selected 30 bass grooves that cover the full range of rhythmic approaches and techniques that every rock bass player should know. We’ll work on driving eighth-note grooves, straight ahead rockers, southern rock bass grooves, funky dotted quarter note rhythms, implied eighth-note rhythms, 12/8 grooves, latin influenced rock bass line, chromatic leading tones, boogie feels, and much more”Andrew handpicked this collection of progressions, lines, and grooves similar to the ones used in rock classics like 25 or 6 to 4, You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet, All Right Now, American Band, American Woman, Black Magic Woman, Jumping Jack Flash, Slow Ride, Do It Again, White Room, Another Brick in the Wall, Summer Breeze, Cinnamon Girl, Don’t Stop, Ramblin’ Man, Dreams, Long Cool Woman, Sweet Home Alabama, Lights, Up Around the Bend, Lay Down Sally, Long Time, Free Bird, Who Are You, Jet Airliner, Smoke on the Water, Take It Easy, Baba O’Riley, and many other popular rock songs.
