The ninth album by the California funk-rockers continues the band's progression into a deeper soulful and more melodic sound as already displayed the multi-platinum albums Californication and By The Way. After bridging the gap between the US college-radio alternative scene and the rock mainstream with a barrage of hi-energy funk-inspired punk in the late 1980s Red Hot Chili Peppers have refined their sound and embraced the memorable simplicity of The Beatles and Buddy Holly. The resulting album boasts some of the most beautiful melodies of their career complemented by John Frusciante's stunning and inventive guitar arrangements.Every song from thedouble-album has been carefully and accurately transcribed in this matching folio complete with melody line and full lyrics including Dani California Snow (Hey Oh) and Slow Cheetah.This special Deluxe Edition also features two CDs from the original studio masters which isolate Flea's bass guitar tracks from the original recording so you can listen as you learn from the music in the book. This special edition is the brainchild of John Frusciante and has been personally approved by the guitarist.

Transcribed For Solo Electric Bass. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. While many electric bassists study the Bach cello suites at some point, fewer attempt the sonatas and partitas for un- accompanied violin (BWV 1001-1006). Composed around 1720, the sonatas and partitas display rich polyphonic writing, unlike the simpler monophonic cello suites. This collection features a challenging but rewarding transcription of the complete A minor Violin Sonata (BWV 1002), which fits particularly well on the bass. Also included are the well-known gavotte en rondeau from the E major violin partita (BWV1006) and the complete A minor partita for solo flute (BWV 1013), transposed here to D minor. Finally, an arrangement of the familiar chorale Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring (from BWV 147) takes advantage of the bass's natural and artificial harmonics. Performance notes are included. Written in notation and tablature for the 4-string electric bass. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Baroque - Solos / Tablatures / Guitare Basse Tablatures
