Book Reviews of Mel Bay Endless Road - Tommy Emmanuel
Book Review: Worth every penny!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this book for 6 months now, and have learned to play Angelina quite well, fingerstyle. Overall, I highly recommend it.
The notes and fingerings are dead-on, though the tab is not as accurate in detail as some other tab books and guitar mags. E.g., dotted notes (which are half again as long as undotted ones) are not used at all. Instead, a fast hammer-on will be just 2 1/16 notes. There are also no notes faster than 1/16. None of this is problematic from my point of view, and might even be a good thing in that it will give you a manageable place to start learning the song and force you to listen closely to the recording to get the right touch.
As time goes by, Tommmy plays slightly more elegant versions of many songs, and you might find your favorite version on the Web. This book will be extremely useful in that respect, too.
The intro notes to each song are interesting and make it obvious that the author knows TE quite well and has sat down with him to see how he plays certain parts.
Summary of Mel Bay Endless Road - Tommy Emmanuel
Mel Bay Publications presents a collection of arrangements and original compositions from Australian guitarist Tommy Emmanuel's 2005 CD, Endless Road. Not for the faint of heart, this outstanding collection of intermediate to advanced solos includes two pop standards (Â?Somewhere Over the RainbowÂ? and Â?Mona LisaÂ?) plus thirteen of Tommy's incredible compositions. YouÂ?ll gain insights into Tommy's playing style through note-for-note notation and tablature transcribed by Mark Pritcher who has added suggested chord progressions to each tune to serve as a harmonic guide to the player. In addition, detailed performance notes and select chord grid diagrams further enhance accessibility to the works of this masterful guitar tunesmith. TommyÂ?s music incorporates thumbpicking, jazzy single lines, chord-melody arranging techniques, complex use of harmonics and more. Playing through this collection will give you a whole new appreciation for your guitar!Instruments & Performers Books
