Avec pas moins de 50 grooves en slap, à la manière des plus grands slappeurs de tous les temps (Alain Caron, Marcus Miller, Flea, Larry Graham, Jonas Hellborg, Victor Wooten, Stanley Clarke, Louis Johnson...), cet ouvrage comblera assurément tous les bassistes désireux de groover sans fin... à l'aide de cette technique euphorisante ! Tous les gestes du slap y sont représentés : tapé du pouce et tiré (popping), bien sûr, mais aussi tapé main gauche, double stops, notes mortes, hammers, pull-offs, slides, pouce en aller/retour... de quoi vous perfectionner et vous rendre plus créatif. Un chapitre préliminaire fait d'ailleurs, pour vous, le point sur ces différentes techniques. Le DVD Vidéo permet d'entendre et surtout de visualiser les 50 grooves tels qu'ils doivent être joués? à vitesse réelle puis au ralenti. Le CD MP3 est pour sa part constitué d'autant de playbacks qu'il n'y a de grooves. Soit 50 playbacks, joués à deux tempi différents : le tempo d'objectif (vitesse réelle) et le tempo de travail (vitesse lente).? D'une durée volontairement longue (4 à 5 minutes chacun, soit plus de 7h de musique en tout !), ces playbacks vous donneront ainsi l'opportunité de vous exercer, mais aussi vous faire plaisir, dans les meilleures conditions possibles. / Guitare Basse

Bass Recorded Versions-Red Hot Chili Pepper's eighth studio album Californication saw the return of the passionate guitar wizardry of John Frusciante to reunite the band's strongest line-up and at its best. It was some task to make analbum that lived up to the epic Blood Sugar Sex Magic or the acclaimed One Hot Minute but the Chili Peppers seemed to manage it with this raw uncompromising album that saw a significant move towards melody ratherthan suggestive rhythm. This folio contains authentic bass guitar transcriptions (transcribed from the original recordings) in both standard notation and tablature of all of Flea's bass line including Scar Tissue Around The World Californication and Purple Stain.
