Play Guitar with Coldplay (Guitar Jams Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is an almost decent product. Mostly I was just impressed with how the musicians who played the instruments on the accompanying CD sound just like Coldplay. The only difference is that there is no Chris Martin vocals...So the first couple tracks are like karaoke.---But I was under the impression that there was also a set of tracks with no guitar at all, just bass and drum. This is not the case. There is just less guitar on the no guitar tracks. So if you want to play along with a band that sounds just like Coldplay to learn their songs, this is good. But even better for that purpose--- the actual Coldplay CD's.
The string by string tuning track is helpful, but that's what a tuner is for-- or just tune to a song.
If you own the albums, I would reccommend just buying the full album tab books for Parachutes and Rush of Blood to the Head and playing along with the actual recordings.

Jam with Bon Jovi (Jam With...) Review

Jam with Bon Jovi (Jam With...)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Designed and laid out as a tribute to Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora this collection of music scores by British company Professional Guitar Workshops also comes with a bonus CD where the first eight songs are played with all the sounds of the other band members, except for the lyrics and of course Richie's contribution. Your mission is to follow the printed music scores and become Richie. The second half of the CD is the same as the first but with Richie's guitar sounds as well so you know how you should have sounded.
This music score collection was published back in 1998 when Bon Jovi's latest album was These Days. Although most of the songs you'd expect to find on here such as the ultimate guitar intro Wanted Dead or Alive, Blaze of Glory (it does acknowledge Richie was not the one who played this on the original soundtrack but does do it live) and so forth are all here. Interestingly though the publishers have gone with an unreleased song from the album Keep the Faith (Dry County). In the pages before the music scores there's also a brief history of the band.
The only downside is that the cover obviously wasn't designed by a Bon Jovi fan as one of the songs is misspelled and the another has extra words.
The eight songs and their music scores in Jam With Bon Jovi are
Livin' on a Prayer (called Living on a Prayer on the cover)
Wanted Dead or Alive
You Give Love a Bad Name
Dry County
In These Arms (Called In These Arms Tonight by the cover designer)
Blaze of Glory
Keep the Faith
Bad Medicine

Chilli Jam: Choosing and Using Asian Ingredients Review

Chilli Jam: Choosing and Using Asian Ingredients
Average Reviews:

The ultimate is the chilli jam recipe which I have prepared some many times now.
It is a Sydney based book to find asian ingredients, but makes it easy for anyone to recognise what vegetable/ingredient is what-> Since having this book, other asian recipes are easy as you actually know what your looking for when you go to any asian market.

The authors of this book explain Asian ingredients - which ones to buy, clever ideas for what to do with the bottles that sit in the cupboard for months, and how to incorporate Asian spices, sauces and vegetables into European and English-style cooking. Looking at the Asian ingredients that appear on surburban supermarkets, the book guides you through the aisles and introduces you to the author's favourite ingredients, utensils and modern Asian-style dishes. There are photographs of many things you will need, from woks and wontons, to palm sugar and pandan leaves. You are shown how to put your purchases to good use in the kitchen. The book includes 80 recipes that move beyond stir-fry, using Asian ingredients with Western-style cooking techniques or updating Asian classics.

Pearl Jam ; Tear-Out Photo Book Review

This is a beautiful book. While it is not a book for someone who wants to know the story behind the entity that is Pearl Jam, it is definitely for someone searching for wall decorations or just a collection of pictures of one of their favorite bands. Although it is said that this book is out of print, I have seen several of these photo-tear-out books, including this Pearl Jam one, for sale in a store at Pleasure Island in Orlando, Florida, it was about $12.95. I suggest buying two, as I did...one for the wall and one to keep as new.

Classic Rock Guitar: Jam With Songbook (The Ultimate Beginner Series) Review

Classic Rock Guitar: Jam With Songbook (The Ultimate Beginner Series)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've bought lots of beginner books for learning rock and blues guitar technique, but this book is great for learning to play real songs quickly without having to understand a lot of theory or being a master of scales. The standards covered in the book and CD are simplified versions - slowed down - of Hotel California, Europa (Santana), Tush, Riders on the Storm and Proud Mary. Once you pick through the tab a few times, you can start playing along with the CD fairly quickly. I'd still recommend that you invest in a utility that let's you slow down the tracks even more to be able to hear the different notes, like Transcribe!

As a happy owner of a tattered and disintegrating 1991 version of this map, I decided it was time to upgrade. My local map store kindly ordered the most recent version of the map (2005). While the map looks fine and has roads and attractions listed, it has a serious failing. We like to camp, and not always in provincial parks which are well marked on this map. I gave this map such a low rating because all the campgrounds are listed alphabetically, while they are notated on the map numerically. So, you find the campground number where you would like to stay and find that unless you know the name of it, you have to run your finger through a very long list (several columns) of campgrounds to find the matching number. Very annoying. In fact useless. To make matters worse, I called MapArt to ask if I was missing something, and was told that the map is out of print/discontinued, that the speaker had NO idea why the information was so presented, and essentially "tough luck". No other help in the offing, no apology, no suggestions for locating the information I need. I am unhappy! My map store is none too happy either, as they just bought a bunch of these maps. I may be over reacting because there is other info available on the map, but I wanted specific information that was essentially unavailable, and thought the attitude of the MapArt person was obnoxious! If you want this map, be aware that this flaw exists.

FIVE AGAINST ONE: \\\\\"PEARL JAM\\\\\" STORY Review

FIVE AGAINST ONE: \\\\\PEARL JAM\\\\\ STORY
Average Reviews:

Overall, this is a pretty good book. It begins with the early Seattle music scene including the bands Ament and Gossard were in even before Mother Love Bone. I enjoyed all of the stories that dealt with the band as a whole, but there is too much focus on Vedder. I understand he is the reason they are Pearl Jam, but I would have liked to learn more about the other members.
