Temonti is a Rock God
This book won't dissapoint and is 100% accurate. All the songs are correct and completlely transcribed. This books includes one of Tremonti's most underated solos, the one in Pity For A Dime. The first great Creed solo and one of the only ones. Mark Tremonti really shreds.

The best book
MOP is the best Creed albulm...if your thinking of the heaviest. Unforgiven is my all time favorite, it's the closest to metal they have ever gotton. Torn is soooo fun to play. As Tremonti's first album writing music, it was his best. I feel like he broke the rules of music in the album...he just cut loose everything. A great book. go get it.

Great!
A great tab book for the heaviest and the best Creed album. The songs take some discipline and time to learn but they are transcribed very accurately. Mark Tremonti is a fantastic guitarist.

Perfect
Creed's My Own Prison seems very difficult to trascribe but the book is the best it could be.

looks ok to me
guitar wise, this thing sounds perfect. the may have fudged up on the lyrics a few times (in unforgiven, the book says "no more raging innocence..."...it should be "raping innocence", not raging), but otherwise, a fine book. my first tab book, helped me figure out scales, solos, single note picking stuff, and a bunch of other guitar crap. great book for an amazing band.

AWESOME!
One of the best cd's from one of the best bands of my era and definitely the best guitarist! Tremonti is a guitar genius and he has expanded my abilities by playing his music!

very worthwhile
To be honest, I didn't respect mark Tremonti and much as I should have. Now that I have this book and have tried playing them, he's quite an oustanding guitarist! Everything is very accurate except the beginning of "My Own Prison" can be done a little better than what that book shows but it still deserves 5 stars. It's worth you're time and then some!

Tremonti rocks!!!!
This is a great book. I got it about 2 months ago and I know all the songs by heart now. There is some difficulty in some of the songs, like the solo for "Pity for a Dime," but most of it is not that difficult. I just wish they would have put the intro Mark Tremonti does for "What's this life for."

WOW!
This is probably the best over cd ever produced. At least I think so, and this book is so much fun to play. It is a must have for all guitar players. There are different types of playing throughout this book and it is for all levels!

Simply Amazing
The MOP and Human Clay song books are by far the best ones I've ever purchased. The authentic note-for-note transcriptions makes every song incrediable to play along with the CD. The Drop D tuning is awesome!!! Both song books are a must have.

very inspirational
If you are a beginner there are plenty of songs to get started on like What's This Life For. This book is also challenging for advanced players eg: the shredding guitar solo of Pity For A Dime. This book will keep you busy for a long time.

this book is good for beginners
I got this book the first week I got my guitar and it was such a good book for me b/c it was easy to learn. I learned all the songs in the book within 2 week. So if you're a beginner and looking for a book then this is the book you need to get!

Great
I just got my book in the mail 2 days ago and I have been playing it non stop. It is an excellent book with lyrics, sheet music, and TABs to boot. It is extremely accurate and a blast to play, I recommend it, right now I'm buying the Human Clay book.

Creed Rules.
This being my first guitar book I ever bought, it was enough to keep me busy for a while. I recommend this book because there not that hard to play, but on the other hand there very fun to. This was a great book for people to get the hang of reading TAB. It's great practice. If you don't own a "My own Prison" book, get one. And while your at it, get "Human Clay". Another great collection of great songs. But I'm not here to talk about it.

!!!!WOW!!!!
Creed is one of the only bands of the "90's" worth listening to, due to thier strong moral values, and they're not too scared to sing about their feelings and beliefs. I really respect this band for that, and if I ever had the chance to rhythm or lead, or just plain GUITAR for them I would. It is the sound I've been trying to create for six years.

Mark Tremonti rocks!
Mark Tremonti is the best guitarist ever! This is a great book that will give you hours of entertainment. Most of the tablature is challenging, but then again, there are songs such as "One" and "What's this Life For" that I could teach my inexperienced sister to play, but they still sound great. The tabs are extremely acurate.
