Great idea, but Tab is not very accurate....
28 Jan 2010
Format:Sheet music|Amazon Verified Purchase
I purchased this book to help me figure out some of The Eagles' greatest guitar lines. Unfortunately, the tab doesn't seem very accurate / authentic to me - I've seen videos of the Eagles perfoming many of these tunes, and their hands are in different positions on the neck - compared to what this book says.
The tabs are relatively close, but for someone like me who likes to get the parts bang on - esp. for the intro of a song like "Hotel California" - there are lots of small differences that all add up to the music being incorrectly transcribed. It seems to me that the music in this book was transcribed on a piano, and then converted into guitar tab.... just my 2 cents.
The foreword is an interesting read, with Don Henley and Glenn Frey adding insight into each of the tunes, although having also just read the Don Felder book "My Life In The Eagles" (which was a GREAT read IMO), their words seem somewhat hollow.... at least to me.
Overall, this book is a fair transcription of the material - I just wish the publisher Cherry Lane offered one like it !

Great book with minor flaws
19 April 2010
Format:Sheet music|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book mainly to learn the slide part to "Heartache Tonight." The first page (pg. 266) has the slide guitar tuned to E-B-E-G-B-E, which is not quite an open-E tuning, but rather a cross-note E tuning. Duly tuned, I forged ahead, only to realize after much frustration that the tuning actually IS an open-E tuning. So, as noted by an earlier reviewer, there are typos, and this was a major one.
Nonetheless, after adjusting the tuning, I found the tablature to be accurate and informative. Other songs proved to be worth the money, too, so I am giving it a 4-star rating. Worth the investment, but be aware of the occasional typo, especially the tuning for guitar #3 on Heartache Tonight.

Difficult, requires entire band to sound like anything. Excellent for a working band of professional quality musicians!
