1. I found this to be a quick and easy guide. Many instructional books are filled with a lot of extra information and never get to the point. In "Rock Bass Lines" I was able to get right to the heart of playing. The CD provided was exceptional in that it played each song four times. In this way I was able to hear the song with and without the bass line. It is really an incredible teaching tool. I plan on purchasing other editions by Joe Santerre.



2. Good teacher + nice explanation + many examples = A GRRRRREEEAAATT BOOK TO LEARN AND PRACTICE!!!!.

1. We bought this for our 12 yr. grandson. He has several other instructional books that we bought with his new bass guitar, this one is by far the best. He claims it is easy to understand and it is the only book he uses now.

5 comments about Metallica: (Black) For Bass (Play It Like It Is S).

1. It helped me master alot of Metallica's songs.

   I'm sure it will help you too.




2. I was given this book as a present. The book explains very well but it could be more in depth descriptions. It doesn't show you how to move the wah pedal, it just says w/wah. Overall this book is very good for the beginner guitarist. If the author could make this book again they should have performace notes on all of the songs.



3. Not necessarily a tab book to own in order to play the songs off the "Black" album. However, the "Black" tab book is definitely a must-buy for not only the avid Metallica muso-fan, but for those wishing to upskill themselves in various guitar techniques.

   As mentioned elsewhere, take all tabs with a grain of salt, however, the solos are a near-enough note-by-note transcription and each riff is intricately tabbed to include even the most subtle of variations.

   Includes a very well-written introduction, outlining some very important and helpful tips to assist you in your mastery of one of Metllica's finest albums.

   In a one-line verdict: A definite must-have, even as a collector's item!




4. Of Metallica's first 5 albums, this songbook probably suffers the worst from transcription errors. The first printing of the book was released less than a month after the album was, so if you consider the time it took to transcribe, typeset, edit and get it printed, this was a rush job. The Unforgiven suffers the most in the book in terms of accuracy (the verse riff is so very wrong), while Sad But True has a few problems as well. Is anyone ever going to transcribe the eerie micro-tonal slide part of the chorus?

   I don't know if subsequent printings have corrected some of the errors or not, but I do know that Guitar For the Practicing Musician (who were involved with the early Metallica songbooks) did release a 'Metallica Special' magazine that corrected the Unforgiven and Blackened (from AJFA), as well as a corrected version of Sad But True in their monthly magazine.




5. While this is not among my favorite Metallica albums, it does have a few songs that are much easier to learn for the beginner and intermediate guitarist. As much as I practice songs from Kill em all (their best in my opinion), I completed songs from this album much faster.
   
   This album has every note for rhythm and lead, and I have not seen any other versions of this book that may trick you into buying a summary version (such as you see with the Garage inc tab book). You are provided both musical notation and number tabs (for musical dummies like myself), and in the few parts that you do not see number tabs and just see a note (G,A,etc), the song starts with a key that number tabs each note (ex: a 5-7 on the bottom two strings = A Chord type thing).
   
   Absolutely no complaints on this book. There is even a guitar key at the start (as there is with every Cherry Lane tab book) that shows you what an H or P means in the tabs as well as about 20 other symbols. Probably the easiest to play of the first 5 Metallica albums, and more recognizable songs to the general rock listener.

1 comments about Led Zeppelin IV (Bass Tab Guitar) (Alfred's Classic Album Editions).

1. Led Zeppelin IV or Zoso is universally respected and enjoyed by rock fans worldwide. It is this magnificent band's magnum opus, and has such songs as Stairway to Heaven and When the Levee Breaks, that every aspiring guitar hero wants to learn to play. The tabs are accurate, as simple as they can be made, and usable even by beginners. The tab notations are easily readable, and there is a clear key in the back of the book. This is definitely one of the better Led Zeppelin tab books.

1 comments about TAPPING BASS GUITAR BK/CD: FROM BEGINNER TO PROFESSIONAL LEVEL.

1. This book is great for learning Tapping, it is great for begining or intermediate students. I have used other bass books by Richter, and I have been completely satisfied with all of them.
