It is probably designed for the bassist whom can already play a few notes, the book opens many doors for any beginner bassist. The major tetrachords chapter shows how to play a one- octave major scale in as many as 9 ways. The book teaches musical concepts and how they apply to the bass. In a well-written format this book doesn't just show you a scale or chord and move on, but rather it not only presents material, but also explains and demonstrates how it is used to create bass lines in a real world bass playing situation.
