“Jason has put together a great short simple guidebook to get up and in the bass world. I remember my first Mel Bay book way back when, and this book sticks in my mind like that one. I love the rhythmic examples and how once you figure out they are rhythms you’ve heard before on songs, it clicks into your brain and you can see them a mile away on a chart. Great job Jason, let’s get a coffee!” - Matt Bissonette (Elton John)

“It has been my pleasure to get to know, and work with Jason over the years. I am a big fan of his playing and his educational content. Here is a perfect resource to help bass players learn to read and understand rhythmic notation, from whole notes to 16th notes. Some of my students play very well, but don't have a foundation in reading notes or rhythm. This book will be invaluable to them!" - Stuart Hamm (Solo Artist, Joe Satriani)

"Learning to read rhythms and play them accurately is an essential skill for bassists. Jason has created a straight-forward, easy to use resource that will send you well on your way to mastery. I highly recommend it!" - Michael Manring (Solo Artist)
