The electric bass guitar provides that satisfying low-low voice that lays a song’s theoretical foundation.  Physically, its long, fat sound waves resound in our bodies so tangibly that we feel it almost as much as we hear it. The electric bass guitar has a long neck to accommodate the long, thick strings necessary to produce such low pitches. The standard electric bass has four strings, but five string basses are not uncommon. The bass guitar course includes music reading, ear-training, and music theory, which provides an understanding of chords and improvisation.
