Joe Hubbard Publishes “Modal Landscapes: Harmonic Horizons for Bass Guitar”
Bass guru and renowned educator Joe Hubbard has released his 13th instructional book, entitled Modal Landscapes: Harmonic Horizons for Bass Guitar. The 127-page eBook dives into the modes and utilizes them for improvisation in bass lines and solos.
“The art of modal improvisation, a technique that is often misunderstood yet fundamental to bass mastery, comes to life in this downloadable book,” a press release explains. “Readers will feel the depth of their learning experience, see the pathways of linear modal improvisation and hear the difference in their performances.”
The eBook includes tablature in its musical examples and also comes with a bonus PDF, 11 Modal Lines to Supercharge Your Sessions. Hubbard says the PDF “is a delectable blend of etudes for each mode, promising to enhance your understanding and real-world application of modes, related chord qualities, rhythmic syncopation, intervallic structures and melodic phrasing.”
Modal Landscapes: Harmonic Horizons for Bass Guitar is available now through Joe Hubbard’s website. It has an introductory cost of $34.25 through October 10th, after which point it will have a standard price of $41.58.
