Don't be lured by this title - not for the faint of heart,
By Craig G. "Craig" (Providence) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Acoustic Guitar Songs for Dummies (Paperback)
Don't be lured by this title - this book is not for the faint of heart. I picked up this book because I'm a beginner acoustic guitar player. This is not a fake book or a "beginner's" guitar book. The songs are very well transcribed and no detail is left out. One major gripe is the chord chart at the end is very basic and doesn't include half of the chords used throughout this somewhat advanced guitar book. Good book for an intermediate player but not for a beginner.....which the "Dummies" title often suggests.

The tips you need....,
By Arena Connery "Arena" (Wisconsin USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Acoustic Guitar Songs for Dummies (Paperback)
Ever tried TAB? This book has detailed performance notes and tablature for 34 guitar classics. Herriges uses five different icons to break each songs down and tell you what to focus on. His guitar notation legend is also very helpful, explaining concepts like pre-bending, wide vibratos, and tapping. The very last page is a chord chart with fingerings. So now you've got the fingerings and tips for pieces like 'Free Fallin,' 'Leaving on a Jet Plane,' 'Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown),' and 'Iris.'

Spot on transcription!,

This review is from: Acoustic Guitar Songs for Dummies (Paperback)
After years of wanting, I finally purchased an acoustic guitar. Naturally I wanted a quality book to start playing. I chose this book for its full transcription of the songs. I play piano and have experienced the full song transcription versus the "easy piano" sheet music. This book doesn't simply include just the chords or just the voice, it's the full guitar track in both notes and tab. The book does show the chords unlike the other review says (2nd to last page). It also include notes on each song to help you understand how the artist plays it. Highly recommended!
