“There is much food for thought in this book. Like a great chef, you must have the correct technique to prepare the food before you can begin to create a feast. The information for you to create a musical feast is available here, but you will have to read and digest it to make it your own. The material in this book also relates to the athlete preparing for the game or match, and the artist contemplating the right brush stroke or color combination. The only difference is that we must consider things such as tone, muting, chops, raking, string skipping and finger distance from the string—all of which are discussed here. Play a great game, paint a beautiful picture, and enjoy a sumptuous meal with Peter Murray’s Essential Bass Technique.”
