Customer Reviews

classical tab!
Being more of a rock-guitarist who figures things out by ear, improvises and is generally not a classically trained guitarist i have had great trouble trying to find classical TAB rather than staff! I can figure out simple riffs from staff notation but it takes what seems like an eternity, which is why as far as I'm concerned this book is a God-send! Not only is it in TAB as well as staff, but it's accurate! I admit to having problems page turning during 'The Blue Danube' (all those repeat marks...) but generally the book is great. I am currently studying for A level music and this book has greatly improved my repetoire and, apparently, my chances of getting higher grades! A bargain at this price, i thoroughly recommend it! (It seems suitable for competent guitarists, and some of it may be a bit tricky for beginners but there's no harm in trying)

An Excellent Set Of Tabbed Classical Pieces
I agree with the first reviewer - these are very nice pieces to learn and as they are all transcribed to TAB, so much easier to learn if you don't read music. You'll still need to understand timing, though this is hammered home in this book as it has notation and hybrid TAB (TAB with timing notating). A lot of rock books come with hybrid TAB now so you shouldn't have too much trouble figuring it all out. Pretty much for the intermediate guitarist or someone who has played for 6 months, these are real guitar arrangement and will sound very professional once you start to play them smoothly.

If you are looking to extend your repertoire into some classical pieces and you're used to rock and blues - this is the book for you. It has a couple of dozen full length tunes. You'll find quite a few well known classics in this collection as well. They sound great as steel string fingerstyle and a few sound good as rock guitar virtuoso pieces as well.

If you've seen your guitar heros doing finger tapping classical solos on rock guitar or bass, this collection might be a good place to start to play something that shows off another side to your playing.
