“ I am out pretty much every weekend playing in different cover bands and sometimes I just need to learn a new song quickly. Aidan's tabs are accurate, clear and easy to follow and help me get ready fast. Then when I have more time and want to study the tune in more depth, the accurate notation and chord charts are there to aid with studying the applicable theory that might be there to learn. Sometimes you just want to learn how to play a song. Other times you might want to study the song and learn how to be a better musician. Aidan's transcriptions can help you do both. ”
“ As a long-time user of commercially available tab books, it has always frustrated me that the transcriptions have often missed the attention to detail of a true fan. Not so here. Aidan's dedication and love for his craft means no stone is left unturned in his work. Not only are the transcriptions sonically accurate, but every effort has been made to consult live performances, studio notes and interviews to ensure that the piece is presented as accurately as possible. This not only reassures the user that the right notes are being played in the right order, but that positions and performance subtleties are captured, giving a better insight into the artist's thought-process during the writing and recording. ”
“ I would recommend the bass guitar transcriptions that Aidan has done to all musicians that follow any of the artists he has covered. Aidan is scrupulous with the transcribed bass parts he has produced, and there is no doubt that all of them are absolutely one hundred percent correct, and exactly as played by the bassists on the original tracks. Many of the tracks he has done are the first transcriptions I have seen for them, while others have been covered, but nowhere near as accurately. These transcriptions are a technical tour de force by Aidan, a very accomplished bass player himself. In particular for me, the ABBA transcriptions represent an outstanding achievement, as the bass parts are really quite difficult and illustrate what a fine creative and technically gifted the ABBA bassist, Rutger Gunnarsson really was (having sadly passed away recently). Also the Stevie Wonder book represents the best transcriptions by a mile of many of his best songs. Also more importantly, they are great value for money! Go grab yourself some and make yourself a standout bassist. ”
“ When I look for bass transcriptions, the most important thing is their accuracy. With Aidan Hampson you can't go wrong! Superb transcriptions! ”
“ Aidan Hampson’s bass books are the best on the market. Period. His accuracy is great and he has filled a void with great books like David Bowie and Essential Cover Band songs, volume 1 and volume 2. ”
