Book Reviews of The Golden Oldies Guitar Big Book: Authentic Guitar TABBook Review: Excellent, readable, off-the-record charts Summary: 4 Stars
This is one of the best collections of old rock'n'roll songs I've ever used. Many of the charts are clear, readable, surprisingly complete, off-the-record transcriptions. I play piano much more than guitar, so I haven't tried using the TABs. Most published rock songs from this era came out as white-bread, sanitized, inacurrate piano-and-vocal sheet music - terribly frustrating. This book, by contrast, is a pure pleasure to use. I can read through a song I haven't heard in years, and feel like I'm producing a rendition that's credibly close to the hit recording.
Here's the song list I pulled off the Alfred Published website (formatting on some of the titles is a tad peculiar, but the information is here all the same):
