Not as accurate prior reviews say,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Best of Stevie Ray Vaughan (Easy Guitar) (Paperback)
Recently purchased this book and found much to my amazement that the music in the book is not really close to the recordings. Hal Leonard usually does quality publications, but this one doesn't seem to measure up. Admittedly, I haven't looked over the ENTIRE book, but from sightreading some of his old classics, I'm very suspicious about the accuracy of the rest of the music.Problems I see 2. During vocal sections on some songs, the guitar part "dissapears" and the written music echoes the vocals or a keyboard(usually the lead instrument). This is quite contrary to what SRV actually played on CD tracks, and frusterating for someone interested in learning the guitar rhythm on these songs. 3. Songs are missing solos, or have a shortened version of a solo. Texas Flood immediately comes to mind. The sheet music echoes the vocals for two pages, then ends. I understand bluesmen improvise solos, but for a book that advertises solos (something else I hoped to get a little exposure to) it sure goes easy on some songs. Fillers between the vocals are also simplified to one or two chords rather than the fast runs that Stevie uses for most of his music. I don't know what happened. Maybe I've made some mistake and I missed some fine print. I thought I was getting some music that would help me gain some exposure to Stevie's technique, but it instead appears to be extremely "dumbed down." In the case of all the songs I've looked at in this book, I would deem online tablature (if it exists) to be superior.

The Best of Stevie Ray Vaughan,
By Cynthia B McIver (Anchorage, Alaska) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Best of Stevie Ray Vaughan (Easy Guitar) (Paperback)
This a collection of songs, previously published by Hal Leonard, that spans the career of the blues master. It is not a "how to" book, so it might be intimidating to guitar players who are just starting out. Intermediate and advanced players will enjoy the accurate, easy to read tablature, and the price is about the average cost of one guitar lesson. Excellent!

This book is not accurate,

This review is from: The Best of Stevie Ray Vaughan (Easy Guitar) (Paperback)
Bought this book expecting to get good transcriptions to songs - this book is 100% terrible. "Cold Shot" is NOTHING like the song - you should see the tab for the verse. Even a beginner at reading tabs knows that what's being played in the song doesn't come close to the tab. Avoid this book.
