                    The changing role of the bass guitar... from a 
passive rhythm instrument to a solo vehicle for virtuoso 
instrumentalists  ..  has taken giant strides forward with the 
development of percussive or 'slap' style, techniques.  No better 
examples of this popular style can be found than in the work of the  
four distinguished musicians whose playing is transcribed here by Joe 
Hubbard.Included are 16 pieces written by or associated with the four 
bassists, each accompanied by helpful tips on how to play the intricate 
patterns as well as develop the essential feel for the 'slap' style.
