Finally, a book with a backing track CD dedicated to the best band of all time. I'd been scouring the internet and music shops for something like this for ages and nearly died when I found this book during a browse. With no customer reviews to go on, or any knowledge of the book, I let my sheer admiration for System persuade me into buying it.

So how good is it? Well, I think it's very, very good. Any guitar-playing System Of A Down fan should love the majority of the content within the pages. Every song that has been included is typical System Of A Down fare, with powerful riffs and kick-ass guitar lines. However, there are a couple of minor flaws that stop this being a five-star masterpeice.

In songs such as 'B.Y.O.B' and 'Question!', there are points where everybody stops playing and there are a few bars of silence. Now, nobody has a perfect sense of timing, so an added metronome or click would have helped a lot in these instances. However, there is a lack of any sort of timing aid during this silence, meaning the player would have to rely on his/her timing to come back in at the right point. It can be difficult, especially at the beginning of B.Y.O.B anyway.

Also, it seems a couple of tracks on the CD are played at a quicker tempo than the actual songs System recorded themselves. So any player who already finds it a struggle to play through the faster rhythms of 'Sugar' or 'Toxicity' may find the recordings in this publication a bit of an annoyance. This problem does not occur over every song though.

Another [very] small gripe is that there could've been a couple more songs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Tabs 2 July 2012
By Sean M. Mcafee - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Sheet music|Amazon Verified Purchase
The play along series are really good. I do enjoy the fact that they tell you what pedal to use and when. The tabs really seem dead on to. The disc that comes with it is a huge help also. Drop-c is so easy to play also, so it really helps to figure out SOAD without much help.
