I have studied with Dave while he was at CalArts. He was an incredible player both on Electric and Upright and the most supportive and warm person. RIP Dave!
I knew Dave in high school. We used to hang out at his house, listen to Yes and Stanley Clarke. I got a bass for Christmas one year, and he came over to give me lessons. Sadly I didn’t have the talent or commitment to keep it up. I joke to this day that I was so terrible that arguably one of the most gifted bass players ever couldn’t even teach me. So incredibly sad he passed so young-he still had so much to share with the world.
I sat a few feet from Dave in the Baked Potato shortly before he died. He was playing with Brandon Fields and his Band. An awesome performance. I was shocked when I heard he had passed away so young.
I truly miss Dave Carpenter. He turned my head around with his work on Allan Holdsworth's "The 16 Men of Tain". Does anyone know about his book? Did it ever come out of the drawer at his house??
I just loved the playing and the stories behind both the 6 string bass (I have one) and his upright (I too had a crappy plywood bass; he's spot on in his assesment of them). As someone else already commented, does anyone know anything about the book Dave mentioned?
Go over to guitarjedi.com/ and select 6-string bass, then select any key and chord you like. Play around with the settings for opens strings, or moveable shapes or playing difficulty to see different shapes. Add whatever you like to your progression, and then you can practice them.
@afeschyn I have actually read the only copy of the book, my mother was his girl friend of 7 years when he passed, we were very close. All i can say about the Book is that it is genius and unconprehendible.
hey, something could be done about the book, publishing it would help many people, just see the comments here and around the internet asking for it. Don’t let his knowledge and passion die on those pages
Let me know if you can share the book or some of the material. I was planning on creating my own book of guitar chords, and maybe at some point, I'd like to return to it. It might be good inspiration.

I used Dave on any date or recording that I could. R.I.P.
Mort Weiss SMS JAZZ " The Mort Report"
Mort Weiss one of my favorite CDs is your trio with Dave and Ron Eschete “The Three of Us”. I used to listen to you guys live whenever I got a chance.
Man I need that book =/ there is no much information about 6 string bass chords around.
Go over to guitarjedi.com/ and select 6-string bass, then select any key and chord you like. Play around with the settings for opens strings, or moveable shapes or playing difficulty to see different shapes. Add whatever you like to your progression, and then you can practice them.
is the keyboard player the guy who plays with bowie?
You got it right.

and would it be possible to have a pdf of that book please ?

please release the book!

I also have to ask. How does someone get a copy of this book?
This guy was responsible for many bass players' suicides!
