This book has no accompanying audio files of the riffs. Therefore, there is no way to know exactly how each riff was meant to sound with all of it's non notable idiosyncrasies. Sure, you can read the notation and play it, but that is as close as you will get. Buy a book with accompanying audio files.

this book served as the stepping stone to my dream of being a well known bassist! this book taught how to execute those filthy licks with ease. I owe this book a lot!

It's Ok

It provides the player with insight into other style bass lines if you get stuck and/or need help. Good Reference...
