A Lot Better Than One May Expect,
By
This review is from: Guitar Hero Songbook - Guitar TAB (Guitar Songbook) (Paperback)
I was a little hesitant to purchase this book initially because I feared it may be riddled with video game graphics throughout and just not something I would use. I was wrong and this book is fantastic. Much like the game, once I tried it, I found that it was really well done and well worth the money.
This book contains 40 songs which are very detailed and are written in staff, tab and rhythm slash. There is also a legend in the back to help explain the notations used throughout the book. For anyone who isn't sure about note bending or how to hammer-on, this is useful. I'd also say that the physical layout of this book is better than some others that I've seen and own. The page size and binding were both done deliberately to help keep the book open and flat on a table without you having to keep putting your hands on it. This is really helpful because you want to focus your hands on the guitar not the book when reading it. Only the first and last songs needed an extra weight to hold the pages in place. I've had this book for just over a month and I've gone from being initially hesitant to realizing this book was very well done and if I lost it, I would quickly purchase it again - and after the Table of Contents, there are no more video game graphics. Here's a list of the songs included: Bark at the Moon - Ozzy Osbourne Beast and the Harlot - Avenged Sevenfold Carry On Wayward Son - Kansas Cherry Pie - Warrant Crazy on You - Heart Cross Road Blues (Crossroads) - Cream Frankenstein - Edgar Winter Group Free Bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd Godzilla - Blue Oyster Cult Heart Shaped Box - Nirvana Higher Ground - Red Hot Chili Peppers I Love Rock `N Roll - Joan Jett & The Blackhearts Iron Man - Black Sabbath Jessica - The Allman Brothers Band Killer Queen - Queen Laid to Rest - Lamb of God Last Child - Aerosmith Madhouse - Anthrax Message in a Bottle - Police Monkey Wrench - Foo Fighters More Than a Feeling - Boston Mother - Danzig Possum Kingdon - The Toadies Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo - Rick Derringer Rock This Town - Stray Cats Search and Destroy - Iggy Pop Sharp Dressed Man - ZZ Top Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple Stellar - Incubus Stop - Jane's Addiction Strutter - Kiss Surrender - Cheap Trick Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns N' Roses Symphony of Destruction - Megadeth Texas Flood - Stevie Ray Vaughan Them Bones - Alice in Chains The Trooper - Iron Maiden You Really Got Me - Van Halen You've Got Another Thing Coming - Judas Priest Ziggy Stardust - David Bowie

Now I can be a real guitar hero!!,
This review is from: Guitar Hero Songbook - Guitar TAB (Guitar Songbook) (Paperback)
This is a book of select songs from the first 2 versions of the guitar hero game. Many of these songs can be found in other songbooks, but the song that caused me to buy the book was 'Mother' by Danzig. I couldn't find this particular song anywhere else. Sure, there are plenty of tab sites out there you can get the rhythm tab from, but they frustratingly leave out the solo sections that make this song awesome.
Overall, it's a good book. However, I think that the songs included may be a bit difficult for the beginning players the book will probably appeal to. It is with this fact in mind that I give 4 stars instead of 5.

This review is from: Guitar Hero Songbook - Guitar TAB (Guitar Songbook) (Paperback)
I encountered this book at the NAMM show and it was one of those "Why didn't I think of that?" ideas. The Guitar Hero series is known for its list of more or less legendary rock songs, so this creates an awesome compilation of songs to learn and is a fantastic addition to any (aspiring) guitar hero's arsenal. Almost all the songs are, to some extent, extremely recognizable and they range from easy enough for a newbie to intricate enough for a seasoned guitar slinger. Really, if you play the guitar hero series and you play the guitar (or want to learn to play the guitar), you owe it to yourself to get this book. Hal Leonard puts out fantastic tabs, and this book is no exception. These tabs will undoubtedly leave you much better off than any tabs you could scour off the internet.
Regardless of how you play guitar or what style you play, it never hurts to have a couple instantly recognizable songs in your repertoire, and you can always derive some ideas from the licks and riffs you learn. Plus, if you're a performing musician, this book has a great many songs that are excellent to throw into your show now and then, simply because it's a pretty sure bet that the 12+ demographic will recognize it. In summary, this book is just plain heavy metal. If you're looking for songbooks, this really belongs at the top of the list.
