5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Metal at its best!, May 8, 2000

By	Jack Beard (Glenville, WV) - See all my reviews

This is a really wonderful addition to anyone's Guitar Tab collection. A collection of BOC's best songs are placed in an easy to read format for all guitarists. Fans and non-fans alike will enjoy this book which is tabbed out surprisingly well in comparison to some of the other BOC books I've seen. Highly recommended, although I caution some of the guitar work is quite complex. May not be suitable for the beginner.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good...I guess, June 9, 2005

By	S. R. - See all my reviews

Buck Dharma is truly an incredible guitarist. This book is the guitar tablature from their early 90s release Cult Classics, re-workings of some of the best songs. I feel that the tabs are accurate, but Buck's style is som complex I can't really tell if this is how Buck plays it. Nevertheless its a good tool to study his style which is more off-the-wall than most guitarists may realise. The tab is clear and concise but the style is complex and tough to pull off for even good guitarist. A good tool. But beware most will not easily "cop" Buck's solos like other guitarists featured in guitar rags. To me this makes it even better. I'm still today trying to play the solos in "Buck's Boogie" a quarter as smoothly as the master plays them. It's perplexing, but compelling.

Imagine my excitement at discovering that there is a BOC tab book. Imagine my disappointment at discovering that it does not include Then Came the Last Days of May, which contains the finest guitar playing they ever recorded. I would have bought the whole book just for that one song.
