Excellent Book, Very Few Errors - Only For Advanced Students

This book is perhaps my favourite guitar tab book I own (out of the 25 or so I have). It is great for expanding on your technique, speed + accuracy, and left/right hand stretching/coordination. There are some very fast parts (one bar in "Lie" contains 4 semihemidemisemiquavers grouped together, which are 1/128th notes) which are difficult to master, but once you have perused through the book, it is extremely easy to play and seems to flow from your fingers like pure ecstasy. Awake is my favourite Dream Theater album, and is certainly a must have for any guitarist's collection. There are very few errors - I can only think of two offhand - the first being the bridge in Erotomania, where fret numbers where simply placed one string out in a few places, but this was easily noticeable if you've heard the song before. The second error was simply a bar line which was missed out in Caught In A Web, where the extra string (Caught In A Web is one of 3 songs on Awake which are 7-string songs - lucky I have one :) ) was drawn a little out of whack on one bar (only one bar, so who cares?). This book is a great addition to anyone's collection, so go and get it!!! (and a 7-string as well).

The music from DT's third release

This is one of my favorite albums of all time, and I would recomend this book to ANY guitar player out there. While it may be a bit discouraging at first, this album has the MOST inspiring/impressive guitar work I have ever seen. This album and it's complexity will leave you speachless.

Dream Theater Awake Guitar tab book

It's a good book but there are some mistakes in the tabs to the brigde to Erotomania, the notation is good. The songs have a good setup and the whole thing is worth five stars!!

A few printing errors, so no 5th star.

The quality of this transcription is very good, although there are few errors in the TAB (the bridge in Erotomania right after the first guitar solo is the most obvious.) however, the notation is acurate. A very handy resource if you are trying to master Petrucci's style and technique.
