1.0 out of 5 stars STRICTLY FOR BEGINNERS ONLY... BARELY, March 3, 2005

This review is from: The Best of John Prine for Guitar: Includes Super-Tab Notation (Paperback)

Neither the tab not the musical notation has anything to do with John's guitar playing on these songs; only the single note renditions of his vocals.
There are chord diagrams for each song that are relatively accurate, but they are not always in the key in which the songs were recorded.
If you imagined you were going to get some insight into John's fingerstyle approach you are very much mistaken.

This review is from: The Best of John Prine for Guitar: Includes Super-Tab Notation (Paperback)

There's very little here for someone interested in learning John Prine songs. To advertise this as a tab book of any kind is pretty close to false advertising given how simple all the information is. John Prine doesn't sound anything like what's presented here. I'm not clear why this was published. I don't believe even absolute beginners would get much out of this book.
