5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty much all you would want, and ever need. 7 May 2004
By jamie
Format:Paperback
I have had 'the definitive Bob Dylan songbook' now for two days and sadly have been sitting with it for as long as time allows. Of course I am a huge Dylan fan appreciating the early days stuff to the latter. Whatever song appears in my head I flick to the index at the front of the book and it is there, the book caters for every era in Dylans career and I cannot see why anybody could realistically be dissapointed in this songbook.The only song that I would have liked to learn, that is not in the book is 'Moonshiner'off of the Bootleg series. Which is a shame but thats just me being picky.
The pages are very thin, so you have to be careful when turning them that you dont rip them, but they always fall nicely so that the lyrics and chords can be viewed easily.
I got this book as a birthday present from my friends and am very, very pleased with it. I would honestly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good strum and loves Dylans lyrics. Every classic song of every classic album is here.
Even if you are not the biggest Dylan fan in the round world its still a very good lesson in songwriting, but dont take my word for granted, go on you know you wanna learn some dylan tunes, and then some more!

2.0 out of 5 stars wonderfully wrong 7 Aug 2008
By K. WOOD
Format:Paperback
fantastic for lyrics and quantity of songs. pages stay open nicely. however, many of the songs have completely the wrong chords. none consider open tunings or capo placements(...so a song originally played in d with a capo on 1 is here listed in Eb thus rendering playing bob dylan style strums pretty impractical unless you put that capo on and figure out the proper chords for yourself. i wouldn't recommend it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing 15 Jun 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Bought this as a beginner to learn to strum some good quality songs. Because tabs are wrong or poorly annotated this has been a waste of money.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not as advertised
This book is advertised as 29th October 2003 but was in fact published in 2001 and does contain any songs released after 1997. Neither accurate nor definitive.

1.0 out of 5 stars TERRIBLE
useful for the lyrics but whoever arranged the chords has done the job in a hurry and without any thought for the player and without any interest in how it was played originally. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Great Collection, wrong chords.
As another reviewer noted, the chords just aren't right in half of these songs. For example I tried playing "Shelter from the storm" which was down as D, A, G, D, I listened to the... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate Bobcat's songbook
I've bought several books of sheet music of Bob's over the years, but they've all been metaphorically chucked out of the window since the release of this epic tome. Read more
