Nice Introduction,

This review is from: Rockabilly Guitar Bible: 31 Great Rockabilly Songs (Paperback)
This book gives you a great introduction to the classics of Rockabilly. Elvis, Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, The Stray Cats are all included in this collection. Some of the the tabs aren't exact, but they are close enough for government work. The differences are slight and it would take an expert to be able to tell any difference between the recorded version and the included tabs. It has a really nice cross section of songs and this really would be the perfect companion for someone who wants to learn some of the classic songs of the genre.

Rockabilly?,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rockabilly Guitar Bible: 31 Great Rockabilly Songs (Paperback)
The Rockabilly Guitar Bible is an ok collection. The transcription are reasonably accurate. It leans heavily on Carl Perkins and Brian Setzer, which is ok in my book. My only issue with it is that some of the songs are clearly filler. In what universe are "Hello Mary Lou" or "Poor Little Fool" considered rockabilly?! Overall, though, the book is worth the money for the real rockabilly classics that it does include.

'Bible' might be a tad strong, but a good list just the same,
By John F. Freund (Springfield, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rockabilly Guitar Bible: 31 Great Rockabilly Songs (Paperback)
It's a good reference book to have for the Rockabilly guitarist, but I wouldn't put it as the be-all and end-all. The book contains 32 classics and they should be ones we should all have in our bag. To work out all the licks and tricks is a grand investment in time. The books is a typical songbook book with the songs laid out in tab and standard notation.
Not much else to say really. It won't make you into a sudden Rockabilly legend, but it will bring some good knowledge to you if you study it.
