5.0 out of 5 stars Another strong tab book for Blink!, August 14, 2002

This review is from: blink-182 - Take Off Your Pants and Jacket (Paperback)

This book has amazing tabs! Blink just gets better and faster with their songs. Their slowest, Stay Together For The kids is 72 on the metronome, but is all sixteenth notes, so it's like 150, just the same! This book includes:

Anthem Part Two: Great tabbing, sounds exactly like the song, alot of palm muting, in the verses, and at the beginning.

Online Songs: This is a great song for tabbing, it's a little harder than their last one, but it shows that their getting better, and it's really fun to play!

First Date: An easy song, and a nice beat to go with!

Happy Holidays: Whoever thought you could tab a song as funny as this, and make it sound so serious! It's great, and very easy, probably the easiest song in the book, the shortest too!

Story Of A Lonely Guy: The best one in the book, really fun to play! Especially the beginning, then the bass kicks in for the verses. The chorus is awesome for guitar, simple, yet great!!

The Rock Show: Beginning takes practice, it's much harder than their last few attempts, alot of palm muting, even in the chorus, so watch were to start. The beginning is played very fast, so make sure you practice that part alot, cause it's in alot of the song.

Stay Together For The Kids: Wow! The chorus is so easy, but the start is fairly difficult. The beginning has to ring, and I mean has too, or it doesn't sound good!

Roller Coaster: The fastest song to date, and is faily tricky, but easy! Upbeat, punk and nice all at the same time!

Reckless Abandon: The fastest song in the book! If you ever play at that speed, if you can get that fast(248 on the metronome), good for you, cause I can't! This song is fairly easy to play, but too fast!!

Everytime I Look For You: It's easy, fast and upbeat, but makes a great song! Not too much palm muting in this one, good song!

Give Me One Good Reason: Wow, this is tricky! Needs a capo, and tuning is different! This one's probably the hardest in the book! Although, it's a great song, punk!!

Shut Up: The tabbing is great here, this one is one of the besT! It sounds so great on electric guitar, I love it! Twists and turns, it makes for a great song!

Please Take Me Home: enough palm muting in this one. it's a nice song, upbeat and catchy. fun to play along with! Not too fast, which is in most cases, good!

This book was great and every guitar player should have it! It's not as easy as Enema Of The State, but it is deffinetely as good! Buy this!!
