5.0 out of 5 stars Les Claypool on Paper, August 20, 2006

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

All the songs I am able to play (all songs being on a 4 sting), I knew previously how to play them by ear. I can tell you that all of the tabs in this book are almost exactly how I figured them out to be. Upon a greater reveiw of the songs, there are very little differences to how they are actualy played. Overall a great buy for any bassist, an excellent buy for any Les Claypool or Primus fan. Owning a 6 string will give you full use out of this book since about half of the songs are on a 6 string.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cannot go wrong with this book!!!, November 5, 2008

By	The Nihilist - See all my reviews

This is a great Tab and Notation book!
I am learning to read music and Im a monster Les Claypool fan so this book is perfect for me. It seems to be dead on accurate and is pretty well laid out.
Bass, guitar and lyrics in the same book? F-ing awesome!!!
You will not regret owning this.
You may be a little frustrated to find that Les used his 6 string on most of the album (more than I thought before I got the book), but if you don't have a 6, master the few 4 string songs, get a feel for Les' techniques (Youtube can help a lot there, look for "Primusclambake" hes good.) and start saving up for that 6 string bass like I am. Cant go wrong with the Peavey Grind 6 NTB for the money.
I also just ordered the Primus Anthology A-N and will get the O-Z shortly thereafter.
Fish on my friends, and don't forget, PRIMUS SUCKS!!!
