“The Mark King Bass Book” Gets Re-Release

The Mark King Bass BookInitially released in 2010, The Mark King Bass Book by Stuart Clayton has been re-licensed and re-released. The 192-page book features transcriptions of 10 of King’s bass lines from Level 42’s catalog as well as four live bass solos.

Each song is presented with both musical notation and tablature with extensive performance notes. Clayton also gives an in-depth analysis of King’s style to begin the book.
