5.0 out of 5 stars Division Bell Book = one of the best guitar tabliture books, January 1, 1999

When I ordered and recieved my Division Bell Guitar Tab book, I just assumed it would be just like another sheet music book, but boy was I wrong. This book not only features very accurate details of David Gilmour's wonderful guitar playing, but it's loaded with great pictures and rare artwork of the bands album. If you like Pink Floyd and you play guitar, this is one book you must have. Two things should be kept into consideration before buying this book, if you are new at guitar, dont purchase this highly advanced book, and if you are buying this book for any other instrument instead of guitar, dont buy it. Some might think 30+ dollars is a lot for a book, and it isn't cheap, but considering how much work went into this book with the great color pages, rare pictures, great artwork and authentic transcriptions, it makes it all worth it. -Britt B.

4.0 out of 5 stars The spirit is willing, but the binding is weak, March 1, 2004

This review is from: Pink Floyd: Division Bell Guitar Tablature Edition (Paperback)

I'd like to first warn those who purchase this book to be aware of how weak its binding is. The first time you expose it to a hot car in the summer may well be your last if you're not careful! I very nearly destroyed the binding that way within moments after purchase--the glue simply wasn't able to withstand this, and with such heavy paper as this is printed on, the result was nearly cracking the book in half. As it is, it barely holds together at "Wearing the Inside Out" (the first thing I opened it to). This is an oversight on the part of the publisher, if you ask me, to use such heavy paper and then such weak binding for it. But don't blame the band for it, or those who put the book together, of course...

The review below has many legitimate points, to which I would like to add from a slightly different perspective. I am not very advanced with the guitar, and I'd call myself a mid-level amateur keyboardist. Accuracy is definitely a plus here; having spent a great deal of time looking at Internet tabs, I can make the fairly qualified statement that you will get a much more accurate transcription here than you can find on the Internet--especially when dealing with the more intricate chord structures authored by Richard Wright. The discriminating ear will be satisfied here. So will the eye--aside from the binding problem, what is IN the book is presented wonderfully, both the artwork and the songs themselves are pleasing to look at. From a player's perspective, though, I will say that the comments about the difficulty level are correct, and also that this doesn't provide all a keyboardist may need--although it does provide invaluable hints at it.

I got this as a gift for my brother and father because they practice guitar together. I mean, it is what you expect, a guitar tab book. Can't really do that wrong!
