5.0 out of 5 stars Loved the Nickle Creek book, August 18, 2006

By	Jed C. "Jed's Lawn Service" (Searcy,Ar,USA) - See all my reviews

I like the book alot. The tabs are extremly accurate if not perfect. I can't read musical notation that well, but I would assume the notes are as close as the tabs.

Defiatly worth the money. If you play guitar you'll need to know some fingerstyle.

3.0 out of 5 stars Caveat Mandolinor!! This has NO mando tab!!, January 24, 2009

By	Roland du Chanson "El Martillo" (Matamoros, Mexico) - See all my reviews

This is good and useful if you play guitar but rather less so for the mandocrucians out there. While the standard notation for all instruments is here, only guitar tab is given. Upshot: If you want to play what Thile is doing, you'll have to sit down and note-by-note transfer the score to mando tab. This only applies to hacks like me who prefer tab to notation wherever possible. True musicians, please disregard.
