5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent transcriptions of one of the best guitar albums in years, July 1, 2007

This review is from: Continuum (Play It Like It Is: Guitar with Tablature) (Paperback)

First as a disclaimer I consider myself only an intermediate guitar player and I can't keep up with the genius of Mayer's guitar playing. I picked up this book yesterday and I've spent 3+ hours playing along to the album and so far I haven't been disappointed. In particular I have been impressed with the accuracy of the solo licks, and even the description of the (as far as I know) new fingerpicking techniques he's used on Heart Of Life and Stop This Train. So far the only limiting factor is me and the limited amount of time I've spent mastering these songs. Already this has been a really fun book to a great guitar album, and I'm looking forward to getting even better. Good job to the authors of this transcription.

Before this book, I'd been struggling with incorrect tabs for John's songs all over the internet. Once I purchased this book I was pleasantly surprised by how accurate and detailed each song is within the book. If you are up for learning John's songs and style, this book is a must

It's great to be able to listen to music by such a creative master, and it's even better to learn from him. John Mayer worked with the other authors and put together a completely and accurate collection of tablature and lyrics, all presented in a very clear concise package. It's a perfect complement to one of the best albums of the last year. Learning the lead and rhythm parts on Continuum has completely changed the way I play the guitar.
