4.0 out of 5 stars Great for Solos, April 19, 2000

Spank Master 5000 - See all my reviews

This review is from: Metallica - Ride the Lightning (Play it Like it is) (Paperback)

I only recommend this book if you're an expert guitarist who wants note-for-note solo transcriptions. There are MANY other books of Metallica music here at Amazon, mainly "Metallica Riff by Riff" which has rhythm tabs and music for EVERY song. If you want solos, buy this. If you're just starting out or just want rhythm, buy Riff by Riff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Metallica made easy!!!, April 30, 2001

Kevin (IL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Metallica - Ride the Lightning (Play it Like it is) (Paperback)

Ride the Lightning is a very special CD. The guitar book to go along with it is equally special. The introduction at the beginning is an added bonus. The songs are made very easy to learn. Of course, it takes a lot of practice to be able to play these songs. The solos are just amazing. I would recommend this to any guitar player who likes Metallica (and there are many) or just likes some good old-fashioned speed metal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ride the Lightning and Escape the Fire, man!, May 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Metallica - Ride the Lightning (Play it Like it is) (Paperback)

As an avid follower of Metallica and their teachings, I found this book a must. From the repeatitive solos in Bellz, to the intricate ballad that is Fade to Black, to the erie Call of Ktulu, this book's got it all. If you like any kind of music at all, this album/book has it.
