Fantastic Service
Really impressed that the sheet music I ordered arrived in fast time and it was the highest quality. Also impressed that there were emails during the process so I wasn't left wondering if it was on the way.

Rise Your Force!
I just got into Yngwie and its been nothing but absolute joy. My two favorites are Black Star and Far Beyond The Sun. The only one I have managed to learn is Farbeyond The Sun but I doubt It will be my last. If you are a fan of "MUSIC", neo calssical metal, or virtuoso this is the book to get! The transcriptions are very accurate, and it will improve your speed, technique, dexterity, and your creativity. If youre a fan of Yngwie, Steve Vai, or Joe satriani get the concert: G3 live in Denver, just wanted to tell you. ( By the way this is not for anybody lower than intermediate/advanced it is very complex sometimes even for me)

One of the best guitar albums out there
This is one of the best transcription books for one of the best guitar albums of all time! I bought this book back in the late 80's (along with the book to Marching Out) and I still refer back to it! It's transcribed by one of the best: Wolf Marshall and it is dead-on accurate. Some of the songs are harder than others, with the easiest being Icarus Dream Suite - Opus 4... any intermediate guitarist can pull this one off. The rest are pretty advanced once you get to the solos. Be prepared for a return to the 'woodshed." This is classic Yngwie and it is a very very good book. Buy it! Now!

GREAT
Rising Force is a superb album and this is a superb book. For the more talented players though, it can be a little too easy in places and there are a few wrong tabbed noted in it that can be easily rectified. On the whole this is an excellent book and is a must have for every guitarist.

Must Have
This is a great book to have if you are into the neo-classical world of Yngwie Malmsteen. You must be able to play at least intermediate to get the hang of this.. but if you are persistent and learn one of these songs perfectly, you will knock people off their feet!

Mozart and Metal
For those of you who may have heard the term "Neo-Classical" and have wonderd what it is; two words-- Yngwie Malmsteen. This book is the touch stone of the style and also makes a great addition to any musician's library.
