Play Guitar with AC/DC Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had been waiting for an AC/DC play along for so long, that when this one became available, I ordered it immediately.
Personally, maybe because I am not in a band yet, I think play alongs are lots of fun. We can jam with our favourite band in our bedrooms and still learn the guitar much more easily, due to the CD and tab combination. I also like to use the backing trackings without the guitar lead to train an improvise my own solos.
This book covers eight famous AC/DC songs, with a full demo first and then a second version of the same track minus the lead guitar. I play along with both versions. I use the first one to follow the lead guitar and get my playing tempo right. I start to play with the second one when I think I am already good enough.
If you give yourself enough time and practice, you can slowly reproduce every bend, vibrato, etc... It's a matter of rewinding the CD and working on it until you are really close. This is a very valuable learning tool in my opinion.
The songs chosen are some of their most famous. You will find "Highway to Hell", "Whole Lotta Rosie", "You Shook me all night long" and "Back in black" among others.
The recordings sound very nice and there is a part at the beginning of the book with tips to reproduce the classical tones for each song. This is a very nice touch too.
All in all, this is an extremely nice play-along, with a great theme(AC/DC) and a CD that has really nice recorded versions. For AC/DC fans this is really, really fun. I am glad I bought this book.

The Definitive AC/DC Songbook: Guitar Tab (Music Sales America) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been playing guitar for seventeen years. I play in an AC/DC cover band, and have so, for eleven years. I have studied Angus and Malcolm Young's guitar playing techniques for many years now and I have to agree with Michael Hunt that these tabs are very inaccurately transcribed. It might give you a head start on how to play "similar versions" of the song. If I was going to pay XX amount of dollars to purchase such a magazine I would appreciate it if I got what I payed for. The transcriptions might teach a basic guitarist a rhythm here or there, but you will not be playing like Malcolm or Angus. So if you are looking to learn how the songs are truly played, then this book is hardly any help. I wont go into technical detail about what I found to be transcribed incorrectly, but I will say whoever did the transcriptions knew nothing about AC/DC or the classic Young brothers style. I was able to borrow this book from my local library, if you can, do so too. In the long run this book will teach you some AC/DC songs. But if you want to play just like Malcolm Young or the worlds oldest schoolboy, then I recommend you look elsewhere then this collection of tab. TO OWEN HOWARD: You have a prime exsample. Because that is only one of many incorect transscibes. the correct way is to play that part of The Jack is;
E-------
B-------
G-------
D-------
A--12---
E--7----
but that is only one guitar. The other plays something different which this magazine does not even reffer to in the slightest way. It says both guitars do the same thing. No they don't.

(More customer reviews)My son started playing guitar in the Summer of 09. He just got an electric guitar last April and loves playing the "shred" solos. This book is great. The CD w/back ups just makes it that much easier to learn the songs and the timing. Great product...and we bought it used.V
