5.0 out of 5 stars Great for beginners and well rounded players alike, March 16, 2002
This review is from: The Art of James Hetfield (The Art of Series) (Paperback)
Here in "The Art of James Hetfield", you'll find James' rhythm guitar riffs for such Metallica classics like "Hit the Lights", "For Whom the Bell Tolls", "Fade to Black", "Creeping Death", "Battery", "Master of Puppets", "One", "Enter Sandman", "The Unforgiven", "Until It Sleeps", and "Fuel" among others, plus the solos for Puppets, "To Live is to Die", "Nothing Else Matters", "The House Jack Built", "Thorn Within", and "Carpe Diem Baby", and it even has the entire transcription of "Sad but True". Everything is explained and transcripted beautifully (it even has tabs), making this a good book for novice guitarists looking for a challenge, and a good companion for seasoned guitar players looking to play some classic Metallica tunes.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you want to learn Hetfield's signature riffs..., April 27, 2001
By 
David Petersen (Atlanta, Georgia United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Art of James Hetfield (The Art of Series) (Paperback)
This book has a bunch of James's rhythms and solos. But be aware that this book doesn't have fully transcribed songs, only selected riffs from each of the albums.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very attractive book for guitarist that are Hetfield fans, April 21, 2007
This review is from: The Art of James Hetfield (The Art of Series) (Paperback)
This series of books (there is one for Hammet too) are beautifully designed and layed out, with text, pictures and tablature. I can't really comment much on the content as I bought this one as a present for my brother, who is a good guitarist and Metallica fan, who prefers Hetfield's playing solid rhythm & lead over Hammets widdling(although not a fan myself and not adverse to "widdling", I am inclined to agree). He liked the present. I hope they grow this series in the future (Santana, Jimmy Page, Brian Robertson, Scott Gorham, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Duanne Alman, Jimi Hendrix, Robert Johnson, SRV, Peter Green, BB King,...).
