Description
About Barry Green’s Advanced Techniques of Double Bass Playing….”It is very important that the bassist, composer, or conductor completely understand the scope of this book. Advanced Techniques does not preclude many of the fine established methods of study. It must be assumed that the bassist already has a disciplined technical knowledge of the instrument before undertaking the present study.”…..Barry Green
