5.0 out of 5 stars Reliable, March 5, 2007

By	Lord Gregor "Dread Pirate" (Anchorage, AK) - See all my reviews

Zevon guitar work is not difficult to figure out if you have an ear. That being said, if you don't want to go through the trouble of chording these off of the CDs, this is a great purchase. It's accurate, and it covers a very wide range of songs from his career. Having said that, there are certain song selections for inclusion that make you think "hmm, why this one?". Warren has so many songs that lend themselves to solo acoustic performances (which I assume the majority who purchase this book will use it for) that including songs like "Genius", seems incongruous. No disrespect to those who made this book, but if you want to visit Warrens website, most of his material is being made available for free via tablature download. The only warning is that it's not always accurate, but you should still check it out.

Enjoyed the songbook. Mastered a couple of songs in a fairly short time. If you're a Warren Zevon fan you'll really like it.
