Bass Theory Simplified – Learn to Create Music on Your Bass
Bass Theory Simplified is a step-by-step guide for bass players who want to learn music theory in a way that makes sense on the instrument. Whether you're just starting out or already playing regularly, this book shows you how to understand and use the fretboard with confidence.
It covers everything from bass guitar notes and intervals to bass guitar scales, modes, and how chords are built. You’ll also learn how to build chord progressions, apply Roman numerals, and use tools like the circle of fifths in your writing and playing. The rhythm and timing section helps you lock in with the drums and stay tight in any setting.
Each chapter includes diagrams, cheat sheets, and real examples. QR codes are included throughout, so you can scan and follow along with short video breakdowns. You can learn theory while seeing it applied directly on bass.
This book is designed for self-taught players, musicians moving from bass to guitar or vice versa, and anyone looking to fill in the gaps. Whether you're playing a Fender bass guitar or any other model, the content applies to all standard 4-string setups and extends to 5-string players too.
If you're serious about understanding your bass and want to get more creative with it, this is the next step. You'll walk away knowing how to build songs from scratch, how theory works on the fretboard, and how to apply it without overthinking.
This book also makes a great reference tool — keep it by your side when practicing scales, learning songs, or dialing in tone with new bass guitar strings.
