4.0 out of 5 stars Decent book, June 16, 2005

This review is from: Red Hot Chili Peppers - By the Way (Transcribed Scores) (Paperback)

When I ordered this book, I wasn't expecting it to be the best book, but when I got it, I was amazed that it was precisely accurate. I thought that it was going to be without some of the music, but all of it is in there. And I think it forgot to mention that there was guitar tab in there if you read music that way, and there is, so no worries. It's pretty cool though because I'm able to play some of the stuff on piano and bass, and this is the best way to go because otherwise you'd have to pay 15 or more dollars to get the separate books. Plus, it's cheaper than buying it for regular price which is why I bought it off of amazon rather than going to some other music store. All in all, i'm pretty satisfied with this. I'd say that if you're really looking into buying a "By the Way" book, I'd go with this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sets the standard for all notated music books, April 3, 2005

Why aren't all tab books released like this? Why always do we only get a choice of easy guitar, guitar and bass guitar transcribed books? The purpose of music is to play as a band thank you very much Mr Hal Leonard and you lot down at Cherry Lane!!! As for this release, it's nothing short of brilliant.. the solos are all there, so are the piano, keyboard and orchestrated parts, even drum and subtle percussion tabs are here... all correct and in their proper places... what more could you ask for? Ok, it's easy to get lost if you aren't too into music theory (Codas anyone?), but who cares? The Chili's seem to pull it off pretty easily enough! The only critism I have is that the bass parts don't distinguish between when Flea plays with his fingers pizzicato style and when he's slapping the hell out of his four string beastie, also it isn't too clear on what sorts of effects should be used in what parts of Frusciante's solos. I guess he's keeping his guitar wizardry a secret still... but anyhoo, I'm glad I got this instead of the bass only version... you can share it around with your mates this way!
