3.0 out of 5 stars Sloppy Transcriptions, December 12, 2004

This review is from: Metallica - Authorized Guitar Edition [with Tablature] (Paperback)

Of Metallica's first 5 albums, this songbook probably suffers the worst from transcription errors. The first printing of the book was released less than a month after the album was, so if you consider the time it took to transcribe, typeset, edit and get it printed, this was a rush job. The Unforgiven suffers the most in the book in terms of accuracy (the verse riff is so very wrong), while Sad But True has a few problems as well. Is anyone ever going to transcribe the eerie micro-tonal slide part of the chorus?

I don't know if subsequent printings have corrected some of the errors or not, but I do know that Guitar For the Practicing Musician (who were involved with the early Metallica songbooks) did release a 'Metallica Special' magazine that corrected the Unforgiven and Blackened (from AJFA), as well as a corrected version of Sad But True in their monthly magazine.

If you are a Metallica fan and play guitar, then this book is a must! Learn all of Hetfield's Rythym and Hammett's solos. I learned more than 90% of this book's song already-with ease.
