5.0 out of 5 stars Les claypool revealed!!, June 23, 2001

By	"[e-mail]" (Blairstown, New Jersey) - See all my reviews

This book is a much needed explination of the insanity of Les Claypool's bass style. His slap bass style with bits of tapping, usually on a 5 string bass, occasionally fretless. I have been trying for years to decifer les's music, and now it's finally possible. worth every penny and every second of practice. This is perfect for any primus fan who is instrumental, but be warned, Les' music "is!" as hard to play as it sounds. Have fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just like Les Claypool, August 20, 2006

By	Andrew K. Hochgesang "Cans of Swine" (Jasper, IN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Tabs are very close to the actual way that Les Claypool plays his songs. Notations are a little difficult to remember, but they are the same throughout both anthologies and Sailing the Seas of Chesse (play it like it is) tab books so it isn't impossible to learn them quickly. Also be aware that a lot of the songs are played using a 6string bass (like old Les) and makes it difficult to get all of your money's worth out of it without first owning a 6string. Overall a great buy!
