Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)At the time I write this, two other customer reviews exist.One laments the book is full of mistakes and inaccurate transcriptions.The other insists it is note-for-note perfect and an invaluable resource for learning to play these songs.In an article written by Joe Gore for Guitar Player magazine shortly after the first edition of this TAB book was released (around 1989, I believe), he called the Hal Leonard Hendrix series "the finest Hendrix transcriptions available, despite a shocking number of music typos."I think Mr. Gore's statement comes closest to hitting the mark.
Yes, there are mistakes in the book, here and there.But, I think most people can sort them out easy enough.There are some passages (usually those a bit hard to hear on the recording) that I question if they accurately reflect exactly what Hendrix played.But, the majority of the transcriptions are unquestionably correct, and the passages in this TAB book which I think might vary a bit definitely sound good and are "Hendrixesque."Hendrix himself never played the same thing twice, and it's unlikely that anybody is going to be able to play EXACTLY like Hendrix, no matter how perfect the transcription.
So, my take on the situation is that the true usefulness of any transcription book is to serve as a departure point which offers insight into a particular player's style and which provides practice material which allows a player to internalize aspects of that style into their own playing. Therefore, I can live with a book that has mostly accurate transcriptions, in spite of a lot of typos.If you feel the same, you might find this book valuable.If not, I guess you'll need to sit down with a recording and try to figure it out for yourself.Actually, that's probably the best way.But, doing so will require having more skill and patience than I do :-)
