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.

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.

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!

This is truly a great buy for any fan of Flea and the RHCP!

The book is well done and help me improve my playing quickly. Lot of fun!

I don't have nothing bad to say about it!

A must have for any bassist who loves Stadium Arcadium as much as he should!

As a medium ability player i found this book more of a challenge than some of the other RHCP publications over the years. However as I wanted a challenge this book has been 100% brilliant to me! Once you get going on Dani California the world is a happier place all round! Top album, top book - can't recommend it highly enough.

A very big very thick book contains every bass notes in the
RCHP's Stadium Arcadium album.
I love the tabs,

I read many many tabs from 14 years
One thing to complain about the tablature systems is...

I have to say that American's tab style,
is not the convenient way to play along with the track,
There's alot of 'Bass fig.1' 'Bass fig.2' 'Al Coda'......
You just really can't sight read and play along with the songs
because you have to remember many sections and have to
beware about many signs I've mentioned above.
(But this is the common way to produce tabs in almost every book and It's for the sake to space saving.)

This book is a lot of fun. The CD's with the bass and guitar tracks separated from the rest of the music are a big help as well. The music itself is easy to read and the tabs help you find your way around the fingerboard.

I give the content 5 stars. 4 stars for the printing.

The song structure notation is not as clear as it could be. The print used for instructing how many times to play a verse or where to jump ahead to is very small.

flea has really good licks in this book that could help you get better ideas on improve on stuff like funk/rock. i recomend this book to bass players that look to just jam out and have fun.

This is a great book! The included CD makes the package!

A perfect 5 stars!!!
