Micheal Hunt (Hellbourne) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Best of AC/DC: Guitar Tab (Paperback)

This book contains too many incorrect errors and sloppy made tabs that arnt even close to the way they are played!

Who made who is played in C,A,G...NOT D,C,A like this book shows.......I dont even know what they have tabbed as the solo for Whole Lotta Rosie.. but trust me its 100% wrong!!!!!

dont pay more then $5 for this book, because theres not much to be learnt from inccorect tabbing!

This review is from: The Best of AC/DC: Guitar Tab (Paperback)

While Eddie Van Halen may have inspired me to pick up the guitar, it was Angus and Malcolm Young who showed me how to shred it. The most dynamic duo in Rock N' Roll history still proves with the release of their 17th album Black Ice that they can rock the house down.

There alot of great tabs here, most of my favorites are WHO MADE WHO and YOU SHOOK ME ALL NIGHT LONG as well as the ominous DIRTY DEEDS DONE DIRT CHEAP. Granted many have complained that the tabs are wrong, while I did discover many errors (including impossible fingerings that bend in one place and still hammer halfway into next week on the other all at the same time)I discovered you have to be creative. Granted I have small hands and can't hit those impossible notes, I simply rearrange those impossible notes to something more playable for me to handle simply and quickly.

This is a tricky business and requires that you have a chart with the notes for each fret of the guitar to transcribe it for how you play. Otherwise it's best for beginners looking to play AC/DC. In fact by studying the rhythm patterns I managed to play by ear a few of their songs not transcribed.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Triumphant Tome for those who love Angus Young's Chops!, October 7, 2000

This review is from: The Best of AC/DC: Guitar Tab (Paperback)

This book is an absolute must-have for anyone who plays the guitar and loves the timeless music of AC/DC. The songs transcribed are true classics and the arrangements are predominantly note-by-note accurate. Granted, most mere mortals don't possess the speed or technical abilities of Angus Young, the incomparable lead guitarist, or his rythem-playing brother, Malcolm, but with perseverance and practice, this book will bring many hours of smiles and maximum riffing. A hearty Angus fist up to this book!
