### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helpful
*by T***M on August 15, 2023*

This is a little bit difficult for me to understand some parts and the videos aren’t easy enough to find/know how to use. However they can be used and found it just takes more to figure it out then I think it should. Videos aren’t very well labeled and some of the stuff in here isn’t explained in a way that’s easy for hands on learners like I need more pictures and explanation videos showing what to do. I think this book would be amazing when paired with a teacher. And I am still using it to learn but I use it paired with someone teaching on YouTube and it’s working good together. That being said it’s worth buying and I’m glad I did because there is things in there that are super helpful. I’d recommend the book as long as it’s not your sole learning place if you’re a hands on just started the bass person. I also think this would be helpful to someone just trying to brush back up after putting it down for years. I am also using music theory for dummies and that one is written easier to understand so I don’t think it’s just me. I don’t need anything extra to understand that book like I do this one
