5.0 out of 5 stars excellent album - excellent book..., September 30, 2008

By	Jerome Logue (Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Real well laid out easy to read format - same as the other great Cherry Lane Metallica tab books. Not alot I can say really - is an excellent book - although if you were looking for some slightly 'easier' Metallica to start with you might want to look at the self titled/'Black' album. If you've pretty much got grips with most of the likes of Master Of Puppets and all the other great Metallica albums you'll really enjoy learning from this book - is really excellent...

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book, November 9, 2008

By	cenobite81 - See all my reviews

Metallica truly went back to the basics with this album. As usual, Cherry Lane did an excellent job transcribing the album. This book is quite accurate, and nicely laid out. I only have two minor issues with this book.

The first - is lack of chord diagrams on the first page of each song like they did in the other tab books. Even though I am proficient in reading music, I found this feature nice.

The second - are some disconnects between the tablature and actual music notation. In some locations the music staff is indicating a low G, but the tablature is correctly notating an open low E. I am shocked this was not caught at the editing phase.

In any case, if you want to learn how to play the songs on Death Magnetic, this is a great start.
