Within the general mayhem of daily life, maintaining a consistent practice schedule can feel like an insurmountable venture. Paying bills, caring for family, organizing schoolwork, and sustaining some semblance of a social life are just some of the priorities that often overshadow time with our instrument. However, it’s also common to find ourselves with pockets of time throughout the day that feel wasted or boring—time lacking intention, as we scroll mindlessly on various screens. But what if you were able to harness these dull moments into something that sparks your creativity, and brings you joy? What if you had access to a compelling, efficient, and inspiring guide to explore and enhance your bass playing, in just ten minutes each day?
With his 22nd critically acclaimed music education book, world-renowned bassist Janek Gwizdala has created just that. Ten Minute Manual: Daily Maintenance and Musicality for Electric Bass is a window into the daily practice of a professional bass player, who has refined and perfected his practice routine through over two decades of playing with legendary musicians all over the world. Gwizdala’s most pressing goal in his practice sessions is to not simply grind scales and methodology, but rather to relate each exercise to a profoundly musical goal, combining the necessities of refining technique with an expansion of the ear and mind in a way that will transform your bass playing into artistry—all in a brief ten minutes per day.
Along with a complete video master-class that provides a close-up look at how Janek plays, combines, and builds upon each exercise, this book includes highly polished play-alongs that will allow you to put all of these concepts into action immediately. The book also comes complete with TAB and treble clef notation for every example.
