"....This book and cassette package is a loving tribute that features R&B standards and some more obscure items that are fun to play along with... This is an important book that should be part of your collection of instructional materials..." - Bassics, Feb.96'

"...It's not quite as good as being in the Stax studio with the M.G.s, but it comes close..." - Bass Player Magazine, Nov. 95'

"...For those of you familiar with the Jamerson tribute "Standing in the Shadows of Motown", there's now something similar for those of us who love Duck Dunn's work for Atlantic/Stax. It's called 'What Duck Done'. Besides its obvious value to bass-players, it's also great for horn players and vocalists. Highly recommended !" - Bass Digest

"...Excellent... a fine resource for anyone learning modern bass. I highly recommend this as an excellent reference - a fine set of transcriptions of Donald "Duck" Dunn's classic bass lines. Many of these lines have become fundamentals for anyone playing modern bass. The book is exactly as advertised - nothing fancy. Only a few pages are used for pictures or comments. The rest is straight-forward transcriptions in standard notation. This book is not intended for the casual fan of 60s R&B. It's a musicians reference, complete with two CDs for learning/practice/play-along. Tim Tindall has done a nice job pulling this together. But, the real spotlight is on the music. Most of these classic bass lines are not technically difficult. So, beginning and intermediate players will get maximum benefit from the book. And, the transcriptions offer an excellent chance to develop rhythmic feel & reading ability..." - review, Amazon.com

"...Good transcriptions of great music... This book contains transcription of Donald "Duck" Dunn's bass lines for almost three dozen classic Stax and Atlantic R&B recordings. This music is the cornerstone of 60s R&B and Soul and as such the bass lines are fundamental to anyone playing modern R&B, pop, funk and even country, gospel and contemporary Christian. The book is 70 pages long. About a dozen pages are text and pictures. The rest are easy-to-read, carefully written transcriptions in standard musical notation on the bass clef. The level of these bass lines ranges from early to advanced intermediate. Many passages are suitable for beginners with good rhythmic feel. (Duck was never about playing a lot of notes.) For those who read standard music notation or work with a teacher who does, this book is Highly Recommended..." - review, Amazon.com

"...Excellent book, CD examples really groove. I love the way the book lays out... spiral bound -- no page turning, except where really needed. I even used the book today in my teaching. I've got a young student who is learning sight-reading for his middle school jazz band... Excellent work ..."

"'What Duck Done'... what a great book. I've had mine a couple of years now and it is just about worn-out. But, I'd never part with it because it has a personal autograph by Duck on the cover..."

"... Haven't put down book since I got it. Great book and super selections. You have great taste... my favorite is also "May I Baby". Thanks again..."
