2.0 out of 5 stars
get the "from the album" version,
By Michael Welch (Sixes,OR) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eric Clapton - From the Album Eric Clapton Unplugged (Paperback)
This version of the book is the "fake book" version, as opposed to the actual transcriptions in the "from the album" version. While it is a perfectly adequate guide to the general structure of the tunes, the actual chord inversions, lead lines, picking patterns and fills are not even suggested here. If you want to play what's on the album, get the transcribed version.

looking for the transcribed version?,
By
This review is from: Eric Clapton - From the Album Eric Clapton Unplugged (Paperback)
First of all, I gave this book 5 stars because I think that Eric Clapton: Unplugged earned it. If you're like me though, you might be looking for the tab book that has every song, note for note, including solos. After reading all the other reviews I got tired of the same complaint, but nobody mentioned where you could get it. So if you want the real deal go to musiciansfriend.com

4.0 out of 5 stars
Trying to put an end to the big confusion,
By Pipo Jones "bookworm" (PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eric Clapton - From the Album Unplugged (Guitar Signature Licks) (Paperback)
You will read several reviews complaining about this or that version of the book at Amazon. What you will not see is are satisfying answers to the questions "which version is the one I'm looking for?" (clearly, because this depends on your particular "what") or "which is the version that transcribes accurately what's in the album?" In the attempt to find the authoritative answer to the second question, and to answer somewhat obliquely the first, here's some data that I have found helpful.A visit to [...], which is the publisher of these books. shows that there exist FOUR versions and possibly, they are all different, though I can't be 100% sure of that. 1) Eric Clapton - Unplugged, Series: Guitar Recorded Version TAB Artist: Eric Clapton ISBN: 9780793520848 112 pages List price: $22.95 -> "Matching folio to his best-selling acoustic album." 2) Eric Clapton - From the Album Unplugged, Series: Signature Licks Guitar, Softcover with CD - TAB Artist: Eric Clapton, Author: Wolf Marshall ISBN: 9780793587926 72 pages List price: $24.95 -> "Learn the techniques Clapton used on his best-selling acoustic album" 3) Eric Clapton - Unplugged, Series: Piano/ Vocal/ Guitar Artist Songbook Artist: Eric Clapton ISBN: 9780793527151 72 pages List price: 15.95 -> "Matching folio to his best-selling acoustic album." 4) Eric Clapton - From the Album Eric Clapton Unplugged, Series: Easy Guitar Artist: Eric Clapton 40 pages ISBN: 9780793536160 List price: $10.95 -> "Matching folio to his best-selling acoustic album." It seems to me that only one of these will be the note by note transcription of the album and that it should be (1). It seems also that it's less than honest of Hal Leonard publishers to state that (1), (3), and (4) are the "matching folio". Since the physical dimensions of the books are all identical, if they were to have the same content at 112, 72, and 40 pages, the font sizes would have to be increasingly smaller from (1) to (4). If you are to trust the names of the series of each of these books and the description in the Hal Leonard web pages, it stands to reason that: (1) has the music as it appears on the Clapton CD (2) doesn't have the note-by-note transcriptions of full songs, but rather focuses on teaching techniques (note that it's authored by Wolf Marshall, who deconstructed the music so that you can learn how it is played, more than just what is played for each song (3) has more than just the music for guitar, possibly including the melodies for vocal and piano (4) has simplified versions more suitable to a beginner It may very well be that (1) and (2) are complementary books and that, if you're a beginner guitar player, (4) is the way to go.
