This could have been much betterBy SundiegojcThis book offers arrangements that can range from spot-on accuracy to just "winging it" - sometimes within the same song. What really turned me off on this project was the purposeful inclusion of songs that never had bass parts (Play With Fire and As Tears Go By). with the suggestion to "make up your own bass part".Bill Wyman and Keith Richards (the latter on Sympathy For The Devil) bass guitar arrangements could have (and should have) been better served5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Higher Resolution. Please...By ItsChillyA good idea made with average skill: The tabs are just barely legible on my iPad at the scan resolution used. Reading on the laptop Kindle app actually proved to be WORSE as i was not able to enlarge the pictures of the tab pages. This endeavor would have been better accomplished through secure PDF if the are not going to offer scans at higher resolution. Stick with hard copies of tabs until higher resolution offered. publisher should list the resolution of pictures based on hard copy size (roughly 9"x12"); 300 dpi should be considered a minimum resolution.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Quick time saver. not all that accurateBy T StaffordBill Wymans bass lines arent ll that complicated I bought this primarily as a time saver and quick reference guide. For that it works.I question the accuracy on some of the transcriptions. They seem to be in the correct key but the fret placement doesnt always sound right. As any player knows that can often be a matter of preference.Example: for Brown Sugar the book has the C at the third fret. To my ears the record sounds more like he plays it at the 10th fret on the E string. Yes this is nitpicking but the reason for buying tablature books is to get that accuracy.This book will get any beginning bass player rocking with his Stones CDs more advanced players may want to just "play it by ear" or use the many tools available on the internet or apps (Songsterr is a great app. Ultimate tabs is also good. Im fairly certain that all these songs are easily found on one if not both).
