Huzzah!
This book was really helpfull in learning many of my favorite songs and I'll probably be back to get a few more RHCP books in the future. I've been playing bass for 3 years now and Red Hot Chili Peppers have been my favorite band for some time. Rock on! ...and stuff.

Fantastic...
The book has little flaws, but the bass line are like a dream, if you like the band you must have it, but it require much from yourself.

Flea is the man
I found this book really fun to learn, especially Around the World since it can be challenging when first trying it. I think its really accurate and good for people to learn since not many basist go all out like Flea does. If your a beginner i suggest not to buy this unless you have some experience or play for hours at a time. I think everyone would enjoy learning this book and feel good about mastering the songs. Chili Peppers rock!

This is a good book...
Hello: This is a very good one but have a little details i didn't like; like the tablature have some confusing positions (i prefer to do my own positions with same notes )in Californication have an error it goes in pre-chorus it say to go from F to F and it´s go from F to A in the same note figures, but this book is very specific. i recommend it. For the guy that says "in Around the World there are imposible notes" -- it isn't true, the notes are right thanks

Good But Slightly Challenging
I recently purchased this book and I have been playing bass for only 2 months, I admit it was very challenging at first! Do not buy this if you are new to bass and don't have an instructor, but otherwise, it's a great way to learn the RHCP's songs and the tabs will really help you. Enjoy it and I recommend starting with "Californication" as the easiest song.

Isn't Hard
These songs aren't very difficult; I've been playing for about 1/2 a year and I can already play Around the World, Californication, etc.

Good - but not accurate!!
This book is great to learn the lines and better to play along with. It isn't entirely accurate however. Most noticeable in "around the world" where some of the notes are written in a position too high, making it bloody impossible to play! I am just having way too much attention to detail. This book is great and I would definitely recommend it!!!

This is a good way for intermediate learners to learn how to play Flea's funky bass notes and learn his awesome style.
