5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Lessons and Print Quality!, December 13, 2003

This review is from: Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon* (Paperback)

Discover the world of a Masterpiece: The Dark Side of the Moon. This edition is a must have for those who want to play and learn Pink Floyd's music from one of their all-time classics. Chords, chord progressions, and scales are applied to songs of the album that was released 30 years ago in 1973. Each song includes a one-page explanation on the lesson. Great format! Standard music notation and guitar tab, lyrics and notation legend, it's all there to make it easy. Print quality is one of the best I have ever seen. Many guitar tabs have really sloppy prints. The other edition of The dark side is one of them. This one on the contrary is absolutely immaculate. I simply love it!

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent play along, but something is missing..., July 29, 2007

Please look at the dates of the other reviews of this book. If a review is dated before June 2007 it is a review of different book.

When making a book and CD package like this editors must make compromises in order for it to be useful for the lone guitarist. Many songs on this album contain multiple guitars overdubbed, this tab is supposed to be compromise that blends all the guitar parts together so the lone guitarist can play along. Unfortunately the editors chose not to transcribe the dominate riff in, "Money" instead the rhythm guitar is notated, a BIG MISTAKE. Other than that the tabulate is incredibly accurate and will replace the other DSOTM tab books you may own.

Now here are the specifics: "Speak to Me" and "Breath" are both transcribed under the title, "Breath." The transcription of, "Time" includes the breath reprise. "On the Run" and "TGGITS" are not transcribed, as there is no guitar on these tracks. The CD contains a demonstration of each track with guitar and then a backing track with the guitar removed. The CD track order is listed incorrectly in the table of contents. There is no information about music theory, scales, or equipment.

This play along would have received 5 stars if the main riff for, "Money" had been transcribed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Accurate bass transcriptions of DSOTM . . ., November 13, 2009

This review is from: Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon* (Paperback)

I'm a big fan of the Hal Leonard "as-recorded" transcription books. They are, in my opinion, very accurate despite what other reviewers have stated. I've read reviews complaining that the fingerings were wrong and that there are easier fingerings to play the music. I have found that these "difficult" fingerings do indeed sound better (more correct) and aren't really that difficult once I've practiced them a bit.

I have several books from the series including the corresponding guitar transcription book of DSOTM. I bought this so my bass player could pick this stuff up quickly (he's an excellent sight reader so he can read/play about anything instantly). The music immediately tightened up and sounded spot-on...everybody was amazed! My bass player is now scouring for more bass books from the same series.
