Tao of Bass, Volume II

The Tao of Bass: Volume II continues the journey begun in Volume I, offering a refined, flexible approach to scale and arpeggio study for double bassists. Rather than listing every key and permutation, this volume introduces systems—frameworks designed to enhance musicality, dexterity, and technical clarity.

Not a fingering manual, this book encourages bassists to explore and adapt, using the material as a guide to develop their own solutions. Inside, you'll find tools to map the fingerboard with precision and imagination—covering shifting, intervals, modal frameworks, and more.

Known affectionately as The Black Book of Scales, this is a resource for deep, mindful practice that supports your growth as a bassist and artist.
