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.

C-Bass Instruments-This CD (including music booklet) has not especially been worked out for the use in musical education. It is on the contrary an audio CD which has been recorded for sale as a trio CD under my name. Mixing the recordings at the studio however gave us the idea to offer this CD Legal Paradizer also as a play along CD. For this reason I have never taken a pedagogic approach to the musical conception of the pieces performed which in my opinion is exactly what makes these recordings so unique. The structure of none of the pieces is for instance as simple as that of the tunes on some other play along CDs. Therefore I have taken the liberty of adding a short explanationand/or comment on every piece meant to make it easier for you to follow the road map of the tunes. Additionally I have explained some stylistic features to help you interprete the individual pieces. Working with my students has shown me how much fun it can be to also offer groove and funk oriented music on a CD to play along. In most of the pieces you do not necessarily have to follow the changes; you should rather develop simple ideas in time. A real strong emphasis is here placed on the term groove.
