Customer Reviews

Not the best, but not the worse..

Ok, this book is worth about $20.00 at most. Here are the books Pros and Cons: Cons: Well for many people including myself, I am not Slash yet. So I need easy songs, to learn to play, and pratice to get better. So trying to play "Free Bird" and "Erupton" are not going to help me get better. This book has some easier songs like: Free Falin', Livin' On A Prayer, You Give Love A Bad Name, and White Wedding Part 1. But overall there are a lot of hard songs that give new guitarist a hard time learning. Also, there are no Metallica, Aerosmith, Guns 'N' Roses. Come on, those are awesome bands with great songs! You can leave them out if your going to make a guitar tab book! I also wish that it can with a CD to listen to the songs, because I don't know some of the songs in the book. Pros: I have gotten to learn about 3 full songs to play on my guitar from this book. I think maybe soon I will be able to play really hard songs, but for now, I am happy. If you have enough time, and you are committed to learn I think you could learn all the songs in the book. I am happy too that they have at least Van Halen in the book. I am happy they did that, I am also happy about Def Leppard,and Boston being in this book too. Overall the book deserves a 4 star rating.

Well Done, Easy to Follow and Play Rock Sampler

First the quality: very good, with chord diagrams, notation and tabulature. It's a clear and easy way to learn the songs. Lyrics are easy to find, though small. It is an eclectic sampler of every decade of rock since the 50's including Fats Domino, Korn, Van Halen, the Eagles, Pantera, Don McLean and Sheryl Crow. Really good songs cover most rock styles...and that's where it shines.

great tab book for a great price!

This is probably the best rock tab book I own. The tabs are detailed but not so much so that they are confusing. Most of the strums are notated as slashes instead of showing every single missed note in the chord. You can't beat the song selection for the price. For the most part it is very accurate. Of course it doesn't have EVERY great guitar song, but it's pretty comprehensive, especially with the Warner Bros catalog.
