Mike Hiland 's Complete Blues Bass provides a very thorough study of blues bass lines covering many different styles from Texas swing to jazz and rock blues. Along with specific instruction and analysis, plenty of sample blues bass lines are included. This book is suitable for beginning-advanced players and will teach you everything you need to know to play the blues. The music is written in both notation and tablature and recordings of the exercises featured in the book are available to download online. Most of the exercises are recorded with Bass and Drums only, with the last few lessons adding Electric Guitar.
