There are two versions of this book. That is why you see extremely different reviews. The 120 page book with (Pvg) in the title, is the worthless one everyone is complaining about. The book you want is: Jimmy Hendrix - Experience Hendrix (Transcribed Score). It is 368 Pages and about twice the price. It has the full transcription for all instruments. If you go to the link at the top of the (Pvg) page and click on "Show One More Format" it will give you a link to it.

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.

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!!

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.

Experience Hendrix the best of tab book includes all of Jimi Hendrix's hits that you all love. I would highly recomend if you buy this book you buy the CD with it as well so you can play along to sound exact on the notes and tab. This would be a great songbook for a classic rock fan, beginner, or a hendrix fan. Also their is Stone Free and Star Spangled Banner Live At Woodstock live the intenisty that occured that night. I highly recomend this book to all. This book does nothing more than bring you up as a guitarist.

Book is very accurate and thorough. There is a paragraph or two about theory (key, scales, techniques) to begin each song. It incudes all solos as well as rythm, and even bass lines. Great book.

This is the transcribed version you want. The best guitarist ever and probably ever will be. Keep listening and pick up some pointers from these types of books and you'll develope your own Hedrixish style.

I probably should have read the description closer, as I did not realize that this book does not have tablature. The music is transcribed well, but I like having tablature as some times it's a useful shortcut.

Good service. Purchased for my son who does not read music but loves to play his guitar. He was thrilled with the content & ease of use.

BEWARE - There is not one guitar TAB in this entire book! I have no idea what the other reviewers are talking about. The book I have that says "Piano Vocal Guitar" in the upper left hand corner has NO GUITAR TAB. Just know what you are buying.
