And this book offers you every single note for guitar, both rhythm and lead. You should definitely place your order carefully, as there are two books out there with the same cover: one has only a handful of the most popular songs, while this one I am reviewing has all 27. Basically you want to see the original price is at least 20 bucks if you are getting the big book. The used versions may be cheaper than this but make sure the page you are reading this on has a price around 20, or you will link to used pages selling the smaller book.

No complaints, as this book has every note and every word. The only thing that makes this book a bit more difficult to learn, is that most of the songs are dropped tuning, something unheard of in the Metallica albums of the 80s. But this is certainly not a bash on the book, as it is simply tabbing what was played.

Also, just to be clear, this book has both musical notations as well as number tabs for those music dummies (like me) out there. Some of the rhythm sections are not number tabbed, but if they are not, the song has a key at the start that gives you a tab with say a 5-7 on the bottom two strings indicating an A chord, or something like that...if you like this very punk, very hard album and want to learn to play like Metallica, this is an excellent book.

I don't think the other 2 reviewers of this book know what they are talking about. This is a book for DRUMS! Not guitar tab.

The book is for DRUMS, like many other metallica books. Be very careful before buying this book.

Containing all 27 covers from Metallica's underrated "Garage Inc." album, this book is truly a must have for any Metallica fan who plays guitar. Featuring tabliture as well as the vocals for each song, this book takes you completely through all the songs from "Free Speech For the Dumb" all the way to "Too Late Too Late", and it provides extensive tips as well as bonus color photos of the band (most of which are taken directly out of the album's booklet) which nicely round out the package. All in all, this is worth the price tag, and as I said before, is definitely worth owning if your a Metallica fan and are advanced enough on guitar. A beginner guitar edition of this book is also available for those less skilled and should be available on the band's website.
