3.0 out of 5 stars
Good fun but a little annoying, May 7, 2009
This review is from: BOB MARLEY BASS COLLECTION (Paperback)
I recommend this book, it's great fun to jam along to these songs! The tabs are good and accurate.
I'd prefer to give this three and half stars but that's not an option. Why three and a half? Well, for me, four stars is very good and five is exceedingly good. This book is very good but I'm subtracting half a star for the useless album references that are given for each song. At the top of each song's first sheet the song title is given along with a "from <album name>" but all of the albums quoted are greatest hits albums! Come on Hal Leonard Corp., you should know better...
This is not a useless rant. Here are the songs matched to the albums (with a few that I'm not too sure about):
"Could You Be Loved" from "Uprising"
"Easy Skanking" from "Kaya"
"Exodus" from "Exodus"
"Get Up Stand Up" from "Burnin'"
"I Shot The Sheriff" from "Burnin'"
"I'm Hurting Inside" from "Songs of Freedom**"
"Iron Lion Zion" from "Songs of Freedom**"
"Is This Love" from "Kaya"
"Jamming" from "Exodus"
"Natural Mystic" from "Exodus"
"No Woman No Cry" from "Natty Dread"
"One Love" from "Exodus"
"People Get Ready" from "Exodus"
"Please Don't Rock My Boat" from "I have no idea!"
"So Much Trouble In The World" from "Survival"
"Stir It Up" from "Catch a Fire"
"Them Belly Full (But We Hungry)" from "Natty Dread"
"Trench Town Rock" from "Songs of Freedom**"
"Turn Your Lights Down Low" from "Exodus"
"War" from "Rastaman Vibration"
**I can't confirm this song came from a studio album.
While I'm at it, may I also recommend "Reggae Bass (Bass Builders)" by Ed Friedland? More fun!

good book but needs more songs, February 6, 2007
This review is from: BOB MARLEY BASS COLLECTION (Paperback)
the songs that are in the book are great and accurate but, you can't really call this a large collection of songs. bob marley and the wailers have hundreds of songs. they should try to fatten this book up a little.

perfect, April 12, 2011
This review is from: BOB MARLEY BASS COLLECTION (Paperback)
If you want to learn reggae bass this is the book. It contains the most widely heard tunes in this genre. The feel is there with correct tempos etc if you cant learn from this I do not know where you would go to learn
