This book does not systematically teach a person how to play. It includes very little written notes and does not have easy to follow exercises to learn a bit each day. I already read music and wanted simple exercises to help learn technique and locations of the notes on the strings.

I bought this book to teach myself the bass guitar. So far so good! The book is very visual, bright coloured pictures to support the theory and practical exercises. This is very helpful in playing the right way!
My only hang up is that I found the book could have been sorted a bit better, in terms of the topics. But this is not a problem since each chapter can be read alone, due to the way it is seperated by topics. This is very uselful for people who may already have some experience, they can skip to areas they need.
Overall the book is excellent and has helped me a lot as a beginner. I can easily recommend it!

Exceptional book. Extremely easy to follow and is very methodical in explaining all the facet (to include reading the bass clef staff and scales) of learning to play the bass guitar.
