That reminds me of a funny story.

My brother got a bass for Christmas, and we went in to the city a couple days later to see if we could find him some sort of beginner's book. I found a Jaco Pastorius songbook, and I was like "Hey! I found one! This one's real good for beginner-type learning!" However, he planned on paying for the book with his own money, and I just didn't have the heart to actually let him buy it.
