Los Angeles; 1976. David Bowie is holed up in his Bel-Air mansion; drifting into drug-induced paranoia and confusion. Obsessed with black magic and the Holy Grail; hes built an altar in the living room and keeps his fingernail clippings in the fridge. There are occasional trips out to visit his friend Iggy Pop in a mental institution. His latest album is the cocaine-fuelled Station To Station (Bowie: "I know it was recorded in LA because I read it was"); which welds RB rhythms to lyrics that mix the occult with a yearning for Europe; after three mad years in the New World.Bowie has long been haunted by the angst-ridden; emotional work of the Die Brucke movement and the Expressionists. Berlin is their spiritual home; and after a chaotic world tour; Bowie adopts this city as his new sanctuary. Immediately he sets to work on Low; his own expressionist mood-piece.

I owned it before but a friend wanted to learn all the sweet little classical pieces I would play; so I lent it to him; never to be seen again. So I just repurchased it again to brush back up on my Bach.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Good but not excellent.By StevePros: Easy to follow; each hand fingering is marked very clearly(something a lot of books miss).Cons: Maybe 5-6 songs out of the 20 are interesting; only a short section of each song is in the book.Flight of the Bumble Bee is very short; Jesu has part of the first verse. I would have liked to see the complete songs in the book. I did like the explicit fingerings shown in the book which cuts down practice time. This book is decent but not the end all speed book. I would still buy Daves other books; as this is a decent book.BTW Speed mechanics for lead guitar by Stetina has a complete version of Flight of the Bumble Bee.
