Best of Marcus Miller Paperback – April 1, 2009

Marcus is the man. This book has highlighted some of the funky, funky lines of the greatest bass player on the planet. The uncountable hours i have spent transcribing his bass lines and solos have now been quickly updated with accurate and well presented print versions. The book showcases a great cross section of his career, notably his work with Miles and Sanborn and moves through all of his solo recordings. I feel there were notable anthems left out, but the selected pieces are all good. Hey there's no stopping anyone with a great set of ears and technique doing the hard yards and transcribing your fave tunes yourself. After all lots of the techniques and intricacies of Marcus' technique are so carefully presented to you here to get you started.In short a fantastic book for any bass player wanting to move to the next level and really improve their chops, technique and style.

Looking forward to learning the songs as they were written, then improvising from there.

Been a Miller fan for years, so this is a treat! As a fan and bass player, I'm overjoyed to get Marcus Miller's sheet music. The sheet music and tabs are accurate (I follow it along w/ my cds). This is a great pick up for any bass player.

The transcriptions have a lot of wrong notes, but they definitely get you started with these songs. If you read the book and play with the records, you can hear the parts that aren't right and figure them out. I compared some of these to transcriptions from Anthony Vitti just to make sure I wasn't hearing them wrong. Also, a book this fat would be so much easier to handle if it were spiral bound. Anyway, the main thing is to use this book as a starting point for these bass lines and solos that are super beautiful and difficult.

I love this book! Great bass lines and have my favorite tune: Scoop!!

Just a great purchase but you may want to hire a coach to get through some of this!!Marcus is the best bass player on the planet

Solid transcriptions with notes,tab and chord symbols. Seems to be accurate but can be a little confusing due to several bass lines going at the same time. Recomended.

Extra tracks but difficult
