Announcing the release of a new comprehensive book designed to improve total musicianship of all bassists:
Bass Riyaz : The practice workbook for the mastery of the 4, 5, and 6-string electric bass guitar. INTRODUCTION The term “Riyaz” comes from India where it means the all-embracing art of practice, with all its associated ritual, discipline, teacher-mentorship and sheer hard work. There are countless stories about the superhuman dedication and energy put into Indian musicians’ practice regiments in order to achieve virtuosic levels of artistry. Bass Riyaz takes a wholistic approach to the development of craft on the electric bass guitar. It is necessary and part of the course of this book to touch on the philosophical, psychological, and physical aspects necessary to master oneself and one’s instrument. Bass Riyaz serves not only as a reference book kept on your bookshelf, but as a workbook that is a companion in your practice room every day. The broad range of topics contained are relevant to musicians of any instrument, and even non-bassists can dig into the concepts and discover the meaning of “Riyaz”. ABOUT "BASS RIYAZ" Eight years in the making, this book is the culmination of years of teaching at University and also privately. Begun in India and inspired from the rigors of studying tabla and Indian music, this book is 289 pages long. Over 87 pages of musical examples and dozens of illustrations and photographs support the text.
