        Great book

        Almost perfect translations and really easy to use. You just gotta learn how to do power chords and barre chords and you can play everything in here. (you should have a chorus and distortion pedal to play the songs as Kurt played them)

        Excellent book!!!

        This is a great book, plain and simple. Regarding Andrew's review earlier, I must disagree about the comments on the chord theory. Coming from someone who doesn't know a lot about that subject, it was nice to see how it works in real music. This wouldn't really make the information...

        GREAT BOOK, QUITE CONCISE

        Not only did I recieve the book quicker than any other online purchase I have ever made, but also the musical descriptions made by Johnson are really helpful. The guitar and sound section in the beginning of the book is good to know but I think more informational than for...

        Disappointing

        The info on guitars, amps and effects is just a few short paragraphs, all info that's readily available on the net. For each song, the author offers a few pedantic (and often irrelevant) blurbs about how the songs work in terms of basic theory and modality. Oh, and he spells...

        very impressed!

        This book does more than just show you licks. It gets inside the licks and chords and shows you some of the thought behind it. I was really impressed and highly recommend this to anyone!
