Build a Life Long Technical Foundation in Bass Playing

Technique is only a means to an end, but sloppy technique leads to frustration and limits what you’re able to play. Creative Bass Technique Exercises offers a dedicated approach to improving all aspects of your playing to achieve superior musicianship.

Build perfect bass technique with:

  • Fingerstyle playing
  • Coordination, speed, strength and accuracy
  • Hammer-ons and pull-offs
  • Slides and rakes
  • Effortless position shifts
  • Ghost notes
  • Muting and Damping
  • Slap, tap and pick technique

Through many years of teaching experience, Dan Hawkins knows that you are more likely to work on exercises that push your technical limits if they sound like music. For this reason, every carefully conceived exercise fit right into your existing vocabulary of licks, riffs, groove and fills.

Master Bass Guitar Fundamentals

Creative Bass Technique Exercises is much more than a cold set of drills. It gets into the detail of great technique without losing sight of the music. It will help you play without pain or strain and avoid problems in the future. It also gives great insights into effective practice methods.

Hear it!

Download free studio quality audio of every example to hear how each lick, fill and groove should sound. You’ll also get backing tracks to practise and jam to.
