The Ultimate Play-Along series gives you everything you need to jam with your favorite songs. There are two versions of every song on the included CDs: an instrumental sound-alike recording, and an accompaniment track (without the instrument) so you can play along. When you use the CDs in your Mac or Windows-based computer, the TNT (Tone ’N’ Tempo) Changer lets you easily loop sections for practice, slow tracks down or speed them up without changing the pitch, change the key, and switch back and forth between full instrumental and accompaniment tracks.

“A young customer came in and stumbled over to our magazine rack and picked an issue of Bass Player. He flipped through for a few seconds then came to the counter and asked if we had an amp that was reviewed in that issue. The amp was a Roland Bass Cube 30, which we also had in stock. The magazine praised the amp quite nicely and our customer made up his mind in a hurry. We sold the amp to him on the spot for $295. Bass Player did a nice job of talking the amp up and persuading our rocker to buy it. We made a nice clean quick sale for $295 thanks to a great review by Bass Player.”

gateway to French MélodiesEd. John Glenn PatonGateway to French Mélodies leads us into a fragrant garden of poetry and music that is both passionate and refined. Each song brings to life one of the great themes of French art—love, nature, the purpose of life—with sensuous beauty, beguiling grace, and often with humor. Understanding what you sing is the basic concept of the Gateway series. Each lyric is translated, both word-by-word and in readable English. The singer can learn the song with confidence, as obscure points of phonetics, grammar and interpretation are made clear. The cultural context of each song is illuminated, along with its place in the life and works of the composer. Many of the marvelous songs found here have been out of print for more than a century and a few are published here for the very first time.
