Let me count the waysBy Kindle CustomerIm an intermediate guitarist and this book is just perfect for me. not playable by sight. but not an excessive amount of work is going to be required ahead to get each song. either. Maybe four to six weeks per song of work will get me there. so the book is going to give me a year of pleasure learning and years beyond that. Its a relief not to only play a limited version of these song based on just chords...on the other hand. if thats all you wanted to do. the chords are named above the staff. too. so you could do just that with this book and have the right chords. not the sometimes mistaken ones you find on-line. These fingerstyle songs are all played in open position. sometimes with a capo.The tabs are complete. as far as I can see (I have MP3s of all these songs and followed along each one before digging in to learning). and if theres anything missing its unimportant. (This book also offers a second electric guitar part once and a second acoustic track a couple times. typically in the coda.)What Im finding enjoyable. playing my way through early on. is that already Im getting JTs signature fills--seeing them written out and playing them is giving me an "aha" moment there--and something to do in my own arrangements of other songs and my own songs.This is the second as-recorded book Ive used (the other. the general Clapton. also offered me a bunch of "aha" moments. (As in "aha. there are four guitars playing at once? No wonder it sounds so difficult!")Kudos to these transcribers (this one is Colgan Bryan) who do a great job and must earn their salaries for this time-consuming work.A couple of the negative comments here are "huh?" producers for me. No shock that a song written by someone else wouldnt be in here--its a rights issue. They got rights from Taylor for his own songs. Neither is "Up on the Roof" in here--another Carole King penned song nor is Handy Man (Jones and Blackwell). Whats in here is terrific. As for the review saying there are no tabs in this--thats just plain wrong. There are. tabs and standard notation for both the guitar part(s) and standard notations for the vocals. Someone must have ordered the wrong book.If I could wish for just one more thing in this book. it would be one-paragraph intros by the transcriber about technique. For instance. JTs using his first finger to strum at points. and theres specific info in the tabs about up and down strokes. and Id like to know without going to youtube if hes using his finger. his fingernail. or a fingerpick. Ill figure out my own way. but itd be interesting and useful to know how JT did it.4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Be aware that the "look inside" table of contents is inaccurate--only half of songs are in bookBy Billy TI ordered this because when I clicked on "look inside" the table of contents showed all of the songs I wanted to have. It listed 20 songs. The book description listed "9" but it was difficult to tell which ones because on the cover it lists some then says "more"... but that is just one extra song. The book doesnt include many of the popular ones that ARE listed on "look inside" table of contents. NO "Mexico". "How Sweet it Is". "Shower the People". "Youve Got a Friend". "Your Smiling Face". "Something in the Way She Moves"... Very disappointing. They need to include an accurate table of contents to determine which songs are included.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
