Title: Good book for beginners
Review: Kind of like a jazz fake book, but for beginning bass players, this book has a fairly wide range of well known rock songs. Each song is tabbed, along with the actual written music, so you can play along with different recorded rock hits, learning to read bass cleff notes and rhythm as you're going along. The selection of songs is kind of peculiar, (Allman Brother's Jessica is in here, but not Melissa), but the book encompasses a pretty wide swathe of styles (Everclear, Dishwalla, Sheryl Crow, and The Temptations each have one song each in here). The transcriptions are really solid. I'd recommend this book to any serious beginning bass player, if you're ever going to be good enough to get work as a musician, you'll need to be versatile. If you're content to play just one kind of narrow genre in a garage band, this book is probably a waste of time, becuase you'll only find one or two songs you'll ever use out of the book.
