No very good
4 July 2009
The notes are ok, but the vocings are wrong! the writting is vary bad; in "Pannonica" the first chord that appears in the 1 of the bar is DbMaj7 and in the 3 of the bar is Cmaj7?¿?¿ the tune stars with Cmaj7 in the 1, and if you put Cmaj7 in the 3 all the following chords are in a wrong beat! appears like First bar: Dbmaj7 / Cmaj7 / second bar: Cmaj7 / Ebm7/ third bar: Ab7 / Dm7 / ....this is very bad, because they don't undertand that the frase that Kurt play in the final of the chorus over Dbmaj7 it's a pickup for the beginning of the chorus.
I don't like more things....sometimes when he write the chord Gbmaj7 (for example) in the melody writes F# ??? or in the chord C7 writes in the melody A# for the 7 in the place of Bb....i don't like it...
The voicings are very bad transcribed....tehre is a lot of wrong voicings......i don't know why........
there is a lot of another little things very bad......
i don't like the book!

A very poor effort
21 April 2010
There are far too many errors in this book.
Shame on you:
Brandon Bernstein (and the University of Southern California that apparently gave him a doctorate)
Matthew Warnock, Jon Bremen, Ariel Alexander and Mel Bay Publications.
There are many mistakes in the standard notation. And the standard notation doesn't represent the TAB well in any dubious sections.
Even where the notation is correct there are very obvious errors in the TAB/ where to play the notes.
It is hard to believe anyone who can read music and/or play the guitar proofread this.
In a word: SLOPPY

Amateurish effort
12 Jun 2009
This book is truly terrible, and a waste of money. Here's why:
STANDARD NOTATION: Not bad on the single notes. Wildly inaccurate on the chords. Really! Hardly any of the chord solos are close to being right, and most of them are virtually unplayable as a result. Seeing as Kurt Rosenwinkel plays a lot of chords in these solos, this is a major problem. In general, there are many incorrect rhythms throughout. Then there is the ridiculous mistake in Pannonica where beat one isn't in the right place.
TABLATURE: Who edited this? So I've established that you should just give up on the chord passages anyway, but in 75% of the book, the tablature for the single-note passages is totally counter-intuitive. Out of all the possible ways to play a line, this book often gives you the most unlikely one. Licks that should fit easily under the fingers are rendered here with awkward fingerings and unnecessary jumps around the fretboard.
Mel Bay books have always been a bit inconsistent; some of their books are excellent, some are very bad. This is a bad one. I wonder if the transcriber was just incompetent, or if he wrote this a day before deadline with a whiskey induced hangover. No thanks to the editor for letting this pass. Everyone would be better served trying to transcribe this on their own - much better for the ears anyway.
