Ten-Minute Manual
TEN-MINUTE MANUAL: Daily Maintenance & Musicality for Intermediate-to-Advanced Electric Bass
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 23rd 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 (link to access found on page 2 of the book).. The book also comes complete with TAB and treble clef notation for every example.
Note: This is an eBook, NOT a physical product. No physical book will ship to you. Any address information required is for billing purposes only. This eBook purchase includes notation and TAB (as well as HD video instruction & play-alongs, which can be downloaded or streamed via link provided on page 2 of the book). The PDF file can be downloaded within 24 hours of purchase to your computer or a mobile device, if the device has a PDF reader application installed.
