5.0 out of 5 stars Great book to learn from., November 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Smashing Pumpkins -- Adore: Authentic Guitar TAB (Sheet music)

The Tab book for the Smashing Pumpkins album Adore is another excellent book continuing the trend from the previous Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie Tab books. The book is easy to follow for beginners as well as advanced players. The book contains several full page mini posters of artwork from the CD cover as well as some of the images found in the liner notes. If you like the Smashing Pumpkins and you liked Adore, then i'd get this book right away.

5.0 out of 5 stars Billy at his best, August 18, 2002

This review is from: Smashing Pumpkins -- Adore: Authentic Guitar TAB (Sheet music)

Is it possible for an album to be better than the Smashing Pumpkins' masterpiece _Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness_?

Apparently. And Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan, with _Adore_, has pulled it off, composing not only a brilliant album of soft, emotional songs, but an album for the ages.

From the lilting guitar picking of "To Sheila," to the crashing electronica of "Ava Adore," from the sad intimacy of "Annie-Dog," to the gentle grandness of "Behold!The Night Mare!" the album flows through songs that range in sound, yet sound similar all at once. As if this is the last desperate plea from a lost romantic, ready to jump off a cliff.

Say what you will, Billy Corgan's musical genius is unparalleled. _Adore_ proves it.

This review is from: Smashing Pumpkins -- Adore: Authentic Guitar TAB (Sheet music)

I bought this whole book for one song (Daphne Descends) I wanted to learn the rhythm guitar part which Billy plays but James' part is only transcribed and transcribed without using an EBow (which he only uses in the whole song). Usually you buy a tab book and you have all guitar parts and in the right order. Well some songs may be right, but most songs have only one guitar part. Not happy with my purchase, I paid $20 dollars to learn one song and it's not even transcribed or correct.
I didn't even want to give this product one star but I guess I had to, to submit my review.
