Quick delivery and perfect present for husband

These transcriptions are awful, very poor attention to detail throughout the book was very disappointed. I bought it with the intention of learning the whole album and as I do a lot of transcribing anyway I thought I'd give myself a break. Became apparent in the first song that mistakes had been made in the transcription as the verse was written in the wrong position on the neck and definitely not slapped throughout (see youtube vids). Rhythms are also completely inaccurate in the chorus.My advice would be to save your money, hope this helps :)

Great

If you are a big chili pepper fan and play the bass guitar, then this book is ESSENTIAL!!! Blood, Sugar, Sex Magik, is one of the best albums the chilis have made, and with the help of this book you can play along to the classic funk styling of "Give It Away" and the melodic "Under The Bridge" as well as all other 16 brilliant tracks.As Michael "Flea" Balzary is one of the best bassists around, the songs transcribed in this book are very difficult to pick up, especially for people new to the bass. The solo to "Naked In The Rain" is extremely difficult and, at first, doesn't sound right. But if you practice till your fingers bleed, then it sounds just like the legend himself!!!In short, this book is a must for anybody who appreciates great music and wants to sound just like Flea.
