Joe Abuso Plays Bach

Bach never wrote anything specifically for the electric bass. It's believed the main reason for this omission is that, in Bach's day, they had no electricity. They barely had coffee. He did, however, write some lesser works for an early prototype of the electric bass, the kerosene-powered bass. As more and more serious listening took place in-doors, that instrument became less and less popular, fumes being what they are.

Joe Abuso plays the two Bourées from J.S. Bach's Third 'Cello Suite in C Major, on electric bass, in the original key and octave, standard tuning.

Yes, playing Bach will help everything. It would also be a good idea to learn exactly which notes make up each chord (major, minor, dominant seventh, etc.).
