5.0 out of 5 stars Room for Squares, September 12, 2004

By	Rick (california) - See all my reviews

This review is from: John Mayer Room For Squares (Guitar TAB) (Paperback)

i just recently purchased this book for something to do to kill time. i'm a big fan of john mayer's music, and wanted to see if i could possibly play some of his stuff. at first it was a little intimidating, because some of the chords are a little difficult for me. (i think john must have some rather large hands.) but contrary to what has been said about this book by others, once you take the time to learn the music, it sounds exactly like the album. minus the background instruments of course. so if you base your decision on whether or not to buy this based on will the songs sound like the album, don't let that be a reason. just pay attention to the fact that you will need a capo, and will need to know what a "drop D" tuning is to make it "sound like the album". other than that, if you enjoy playing guitar, and you enjoy john mayer's music, then you should like this book. if you don't enjoy one of the aforementioned, then you probably won't enjoy this book. it's a pretty simple concept.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good, just get the right one, February 20, 2006

By	Jacob Z (Richmond, IN USA) - See all my reviews

Notice that there are 3 versions of this book - PVG, Easy Guitar, and Guitar TAB. Make sure you don't get the PVG if you are wanting to learn the guitar parts, as it does not have guitar tabs in it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but critical elements missing, July 4, 2006

I had hoped to buy this Easy-Guitar Tab in hopes of finding out what chords John Mayer was using for his hit "No Such Thing."

The guitar tab was fine, but lacked Mayer's fundamental chord structure, by not supplying his chord changes when they are most needed. The guitar chords totally lack the head of the song, which to me is the signature element of the melody. In other songs, there is plentiful chord structure. Why does this tab book not include the chords for one of his most notable and play-worthy songs?

I can only say that the authors of this book were negligent and intentionally so. I was not satisfied with my purchase, and would caution anyone who intends to buy this book with the thought of finding "No Such Thing" detailed in the book, when it is not.
