    So Much Fun to Play!

    This fake book is an absolute blast for a weekend bass player! It’s awesome to have so many recognizable songs like 'Sweet Child O' Mine' and 'Seven Nation Army' all in one place. The 'easy-to-use' bass charts with notation and tab make it simple to jump right in and feel like I'm playing along with the record. Highly recommend for pure enjoyment!
