    It might seem obvious, but...

Alright, so anyone who really sits down and says "What sort of exercises can I do to strengthen my hands?" will probably come up with something similar to the content of this book. Line after line, page after page of simple phrases, forcing you to use each finger in a variety of patterns designed to work your hands, and engaging every finger on your fretting hand. That said, it's an amazingly comprehensive collection of variations on that theme, and for the fairly low cost of the book, it's definitely worth picking up.The content itself is pretty boring. Go to a section, repeat that short phrase over and over, rinse and repeat. It's not meant to be exciting, it's meant to give you the ability to play the exciting stuff more easily. I've only been working with the book a short while, and it's surprisingly difficult. The lines themselves are simple enough to play, but I don't recall ever actually "feeling the burn" in my hands like that, before. It will stretch and strengthen your hands, no doubt.The exercises are presented in standard notation and tablature. While I'm often critical of tabs (though, I do use them on occasion), this book is a perfect use case for them. It is not about making music, indeed, the content is pretty much un-musical to all but the most "academic" of musicians, it is about making you more able to make music. The tablature included seems to help reinforce that idea.This is a must buy for anyone beginning on bass, or probably many more advanced players. The exercises really can apply to any stringed instrument, as well - so if you play guitar, banjo, mandolin, sitar, whatever - this book is for you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great dexterity, timing and strengthening exercises
  

*by J***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 11, 2010*

To get the most out of this you really need to play along with a metronome (emphasized on page 5, but possibly ignored by some), this way you can gauge your progress.  If you don't I can assure you it will be used for about a month and then find its way to the next  yard sale.  Reason for four stars: The only thing I found missing was a set of thumb shift exercises, say one in which you would fourth fret the fourth string (with your pinky) to the first fret of the third string followed by a thumb shift so that the first finger now slides to the fourth fret third finger and then follow the progression of 567, and repeating for the next two strings.  I realize that it does not reverse as do most of the other exercises, but I think it instills yet another important aspect in bass fingering coordination.  I went ahead and wrote in some myself in the blank spaces in back.  What would even be better is if he had a website rather than a book (subscription based) where other bassists could share their fingering exercises with a larger community.
