5.0 out of 5 stars Slash Rocks, August 10, 2005

By	Franky "Zigga111" (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews

Awesome TAB book. Very easy songs to master on the guitar. Compared to Guns N Roses, Slash used to be some what difficult on the guitar, but now his musics better and easier to play. Dont get me wrong, Slash's playing in Gunners rocks but it looks like that he's matured in his playing with Velvet Revolver.
All songs from the album are transcribed perfectlly,(Note for Note). You wont regret this purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, accurate transcriptions, January 6, 2009

By	Paulo Aragao (Rio de Janeiro, RJ Brasil) - See all my reviews

What can anyone say about Hal Leonard? They make accurate and nice books like this one.

If you like Slash, you should check this one out. Velvet Revolver is basically the Guns 'N Roses formation without Axel Rose. You have Matt Sorum on the drums, Duff McKagan on the bass, Slash in the lead guitar. In my opnion, this trio is very good in what they do. There are two new guys on the vocals and lead/base guitar.

Solos transcribed perfectly and it feels good when you finish learning that one solo you have ever wanted to play like it is, instead of improvising something similar.
