5.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable source of Rock and Roll and Rythmy and Blues, December 30, 2003

I've been playing guitar for 16 years, and to my ear the transcriptions in this book are very accurate and superior to tablature you'll find posted on the web that are transcribed by amature guitarists. If this book is properly studied, and you use other teaching sources to really understand the alternate tunings and chord shapes used in these songs you can really open up the fret board in a special way with the use of this book. I also recommend the Hal Leonard Chuck Berry Tab book as a good primer for the songs in this book. With the two together you can have an advance understanding Keith Richards approach to the guitar.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rolling Stones Singles Collection, January 5, 2007

This review is from: The Rolling Stones Singles Collection: The London Years / Guitar Tab Edition (Paperback)

This collection of Rolling Stones numbers is far more detailed than I will probably ever be able to use (unfortunately!), but the few songs I have picked up on were all in the correct key to play along with original tracks. So, it would appear to me to be an accurate rendition and a very good reference. I am certainly not sorry I bought it, but I will be looking for a simpler songbook to compliment the material presented. A couple of my all-time favourites are missing (e.g. "Cry to Me" and "Under the Boardwalk"). Maybe the Rolling Stones Fakebook is the answer?

This review is from: The Rolling Stones Singles Collection: The London Years / Guitar Tab Edition (Paperback)

This is an excellent book with chords and complete musical notation for Rolling Stones singles until the eraly 1970s. The guitar parts also have complete and accurate tablatures. Together the the CD edition of the same title, it makes an invaluable study item for anyone interested in learning this music. Outstanding!
