5.0 out of 5 stars Just Great, November 26, 2006

By	William Gawler "Chili Peppers Nut" (Washington D.C.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

So, I ordered this on September 18th as soon as it was available and I finally got it a few days ago. It was definitely worth the wait. I applaud the Chili Peppers for requesting that this be done with the guitar tracks. It really helps when you are trying to learn the songs. It also makes you appreciate even more the skill of John and Flea. More bands need to do this with their music books.

If you are looking to learn the tracks from Stadium Arcadium, then this book is perfect for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Flea has huge hands...or mine are too small..., March 24, 2007

By	Jesus R. Holbrook (NYC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Every song is played straight through at normal speed and you can clearly hear every note. The tabs are great,but actualy reading the notation feels a lot easier to read. The only thing i would change is have single lick tracks or slowed down versions of songs along with the full length at speed tracks. this album isnt for beginners at all, but its not completly impossible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stadium Arcadium Bass Sheet Music, March 16, 2007

By	Frederick Locke Lawrence (Mount Pleasant, MI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great book! I've been playing bass for 3 years now and this is a really fun way to spend my free time. The cds are also a great addition; they really help out a lot if Flea's bass licks throw you for a loop. It's also just fun to play along with the CD's because they threw John in also. Also, if you can't read music, don't worry. Personally I'm a fan of reading actual music for many reasons, but if you haven't crossed that bridge in your bass playing career every song has tabs. This book is the ultimate hook up for any Red Hot Chili Pepper addicted Flea-loving bass fanatics! It rocks!
