5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't Have Been Happier!, September 24, 2005

By	L. Smith (Immokalee, Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm no top notch guitarist who can play some Hendrix with their eye's closed, but i'm all right, and I couldn't have been happier with this book. The Tabs to me seemed like they were dead on accurate. I must admit that some of the chords Mr. Hendrix used are kinda crazy when your fretting them but once you get used to it you'll be allright. If you just got into Hendrix or have been into his music for some time this book won't do you wrong!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great BOOK, August 10, 2004

By	brad pits "sas" (grants pass,or) - See all my reviews

This is the best tab book i own. It is filled with info like how he makes some of the crazy noises like in foxey lady and the flick thing in voodoo chile. Everything is tabbed out to the smallest change and all is accurate. It includes drums, bass and any other wierd intruments or 2nd guitar parts[or 3rd].a time measure is given so you can play along with a drum machine or metronome if desired. It gives an intro to each song telling about it. It matches a cd so you can listen to it right along with it. I found some of the songs hard in that the "riffs" being played were not always easily recognizable and could be subject to your personal interpretation of it but still its all there.Very good book, i highly reccomend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Precise and detailed, November 6, 2006

By	David M. Cook (Louisville, KY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great work- I am wholeheartedly impressed.

The transcriptions here are full scores, meaning that every instrument played on each studio recording is notated in sheet music and then tabbed out in the language of that instrument. There is also about a half page description before each song discussing its unique features and mechaincs.

The guitarist who is interested in understanding Jimi's style and techniques could do so with this book, the album itself, and perhaps a few other recordings. And drummers would do well to analyze it also.

As far as quality, the level of detail and accuracy is like nothing I've ever seen in a music book. The author has done the impossable by taking Jimi's techniques and notating them all on paper. Truly impressive, and truly useful.
