4.0 out of 5 stars pros and cons, September 23, 2003

By	Claire (the Universe) - See all my reviews

As a tab book, it's really good! Chords are perfect, and it has alot of "how to's" in it. However, the lyrics that they put with the songs are REALLY off on alot of the songs. Some of the mistakes are really funny! But besides that, it's a good book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes Playing Foo Possible, December 29, 2009

By	S. Robards (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had attempted to learn a number of Foo tunes before buying this book, with limited success. Once I set to work on learning the songs with this book and the CD, which is what really makes this book awesome, things came much easier. Dave Grohl is a genious and that is reflected in the intricacies of his songs. With the CD tracks that play the guitar parts both regular and half-speed, you can pick up a song pretty quickly. Every tab that I have learned appears to be dead on. Now if I could only play fast enough to master Monkey Wrench...
