Book Reviews of Acoustic Masters for Guitar
Book Review: One of the better Dylan song books I've found
Summary: 4 Stars
In general, there are two types of song books: Those that dumb down the music and those that try to faithfully transcribe the music at hand. This book falls into the latter camp.
The written music is for guitars that use the treble clef. In a few cases this involves more than one guitar -- up to three. So, no bass guitar. There is harmonica music on a few songs. Lyrics are on all songs.
Chord diagrams for each song are provided, but only once -- they are listed by the song title. Once you get into the written music, this book only has the chord name above the staff. (They do not list fingerings for the chords, either.) There is Tab.
Below I've listed the songs in the book. There is about a 50/50 split between strumming songs and finger-picking songs. As you can see, they're all over the Dylan map, on 14 different albums:
Baby, Let Me Follow You Down
Ballad of Hollis Brown
Blood in My Eyes
Buckets of Rain
Don't Think Twice, It's All Right
4th Time Around
Girl From the North Country
I Don't Believe You
I Shall Be Released
If You See Her, Say Hello
Just Like a Woman
Lay Lady Lay
One Too Many Mornings
Po' Boy
Shooting Star
Tangled Up in Blue
Things Have Changed
Visions of Johanna
You're a Big Girl Now
If you're not a big Dylan fan, you should know that this is not a "radio Dylan / greatest hits" song book. I like Bob's music, and I'm happy with the song selection, but a casual music listener might only recognize a couple of the songs.
I won't comment on the overall accuracy of the music, except it "looks good to me." I am new to guitar (4 months in), and I can really only play one song from this book, today, and that one follows the studio album as well as I can tell.
