4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful learning tool December 29, 2007

By Craig

Format:Paperback

Great backing tracks Minor errors at times with the tab, but easy enough to see & I'm yet to find a tab book that doesnt have the occasional error. Transcriptions are subjective, position , slurs etc vary in transcriptions. Most of these tunes I've been playing for 30 odd years, so always interesting to hear & see interpretations. Should have tabbed both rhythm guitars for some sings (Foxy Lady, & Watchtower for eg )The playing here is excellent & tips along the way in regard to when to engage fuzz pedal, delay. Not used the computer to slow the speed while retaining the pitch, but great asset to any student tackling the songs for the first time. Particularly enjoyed the interpretation of Red House. The genius of the great Jimi Hendrix.....always a wonderful inspiration & incentive to learn/play. Highly recommended

5.0 out of 5 stars This book converted me March 9, 2006

By Peef

Format:Paperback

It's true, this book is AMAZING! I got it as a gift, and instead of returning it decided to give it a shot. The transcriptions are clean and easy to follow. The Play-along CD is enhanced so if you put it in your PC you can slow down the tempo without changing the pitch. Plus, the recordings are very true to the originals, and the backing band sounds great. I feel like I sound much better playing with the recorded band, than with my own...but don't tell them that!

This is great for beginning guitarists or anyone who wants to learn Hendrix's songs. The tab notation and backing tracks help a lot.

Packed well and came in new condition.
Music and backing track are well done for practice, but nothing close to the real thing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great. The music blows you away. January 25, 2007

By Hendrix fan

Format:Paperback

I bought this just for the cd. It is great. The music is fantastic. The song is played all the way through without stopping. Then the second time it is slowed down so you can learn it. I'm telling you, if you are a Jimi Hendrix fan like me, you got to get this.

This book is a great tool to learn from the best. A unique style that if mastered would bring many times of enjoyment knowing what you have accoumplished. The CD helps break it down for an easerier time to learn the intro and timing. We are all not Jimi, but we at least can enjoy playing are favorite music by him.

I found this to be an excellent reference. Complete guitar chords and tab for a wide variety of familiar Hendrix. Clearly no book can contain everything, but this one did pretty well. "Purple Haze" and a good number of Hendrix are included. Tab is pretty good and accurate. Better than others I have seen.

Format:Paperback

Karokee for guitar! You gotta love it! Do yourself a favor and buy the upgrade from roni, then you'll be able to play ALL the play-along discs (not just hal leonard). I highly recommend this series to anyone getting started, or for the experienced player without a band. I own over a dozen books, and constantly scan for new releases.
