lntroclrreü¡(onThere's a kind of gravity among musicians. When two great players get together, theurge to create is hard to resist. That's the story behind Slap Bass Essentials, a new book/audioinstruction package that examines every aspect of the slap bass technique.Bunny Brunel, a driving force behind the fusion movement of the '70s and '80s,teams up with bassist, producer, songwriter Josquin des Pres to put together the ultimate slapbass instruction package for bass players at any level.Bunny has performed and recorded with Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, WayneShorter, Tony Williams, AI Jarreau, Larry Coryell and Al Di Meota. He is also a producer,arranger and the author of three books; The Complete Book of Bass Essentials, Thecomplete Book of Bass Technique and Bunny Brunel's Bass secrets.Josquin has recorded over 20 albums sharing credits with such noteworthy players asJeff Porcaro, Steve Lukather, Vinnie Colaiuta, Billy Sheehan and many more. He is theauthor of three books, Bass Fitness, (endorsed by Berklee College of Music and world knownbassists), Bach for Bass, and Muted Grooves.In addition to his career as a bassist, Josquin is also an accomplished producer andsongwriter. His credits include multiple collaborations with Elton John,s legendary lyricistBernie Taupin as well as numerous covers by international artists published by WarnerChappell, EMI Music, SBK Songs, etc.
Prefa(Ec In this book we have tried to cover thoroughly every aspect of the slap bass style.it with thepreceding one. All sections contain comprehensive exercises to develop necessary skills, andpatterns that move through increasing difficulty levels.Each section examines in depth a specific technique, combiningThe exercises are fairly basic and easy to understand, therefore only the patterns arerecorded in the audio part of this package. Use them as a springboard to create your ownideas. The "audio track number" indicates the location on the recording of a particularpattern.To develop a good sense of time, always use a metronome or a drum machine. Startslowly (60 to 80 beats per minute) then gradually speed up. You may also use some of thedrum beats we have included at the end of the recording.We would like to thank all the people who contributed to the recording of the audio:Karl Moet for the Tascam DA 88, Mark Kiesel and Dave Flores for the Carvin "BunnyBrunel" Basses, Richard Cocco for the Labella Strings, Richard Godinez for the ART"Nightbassr" Michael Shortino from Quik Lok Systems, Tlev Wilkinson from WilkinsonUSA, Dave Timmons of Gibson USA, David Williams and Patrice Vigier of VigierGuitars, T[istan des Pres of Sega Interactive, Peter Mavropoulos, Dave Stark, LeeBales and everyone we may have forgotten.
