Hal Leonard, Print More Cheap Trick Tab!
These rockers release great material. I'm a guitarist and I want to play in the style of Rick Nielson. Where's a book for that? Please Hal Leonard, look into this, make some calls. Oh, and please print some of their songs besides I Want You To Want Me and, you know, the usual. Dig in deep and find the repertoire of: Big Eyes, Downed, On Top Of the World, Auf Wiedersehen, Takin' Me Back, On the Radio, How Are You?, ELO Kiddies, Daddy Should Have Stayed in High School, Taxman Mr. Thief, Mandocello, Ballad of T.V. Violence, Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace. This list just covers 1977 through 1979. They have tremendous current rock songs also, which bewilders me why you sheet music publishers DON'T print Cheap Trick tab anthologies and full albums like "Special One," with the huge hit Scent of a Woman. Robin's vocals are amazing and the music is quite talented. So, please listen to this plee. We want Cheap Trick Tablature!

Nielson Is A Guitar Extraordinaire!
Upon delving in to this grand collection of Cheap Trick rock songs, I am pleased to finally see in notation and tab these brilliant masterwork compositions from the enfamous guitarist/songwriter Rick "the pick" Nielson. I think there should be a follow-up to this book. If anyone in the know can please relay this message, I will feel much obliged. These songs of Rick's and the performances of Tom, Bun E., and Robin are pure, pleasing pleasure for your rock pallett.

There's no "Trick" to playing these!
Excellent selection of songs and accurately tabbed (yeah, like I really know!). This represents basic Cheap Trick; great power chords and sing along songs! Who hasn't heard about 75% of these tunes on the radio? Learn these and you'll have a batch of tunes that everyone will know. Fairly easy power chords, no weird tunings, short intermediate solos, and tabs for both guitar parts. That's the nice thing about CT's music; 1 or 2 guitar parts flesh out the song, vs. some bands with 16 guitar parts that you have to choose one (or several) to learn and make the song recognizable. This works best with a checkerboard guitar or strap for the true Cheap Trick effect!
