Review:

I have a large collection of transcriptions, so I wasn't sure the Guitar Play-Along series would be worthwhile for me. As it turns out, this book is a lot of fun to work with, and has actually got me back playing more guitar than I have in a long while.
The general approach of these transcriptions is to provide complete accuracy, but to arrange the songs for one guitar. If you were the lone guitarist in your band, these transcriptions represent the parts you would most likely choose to play. The solos are completely tabbed out, too.
The mix of songs here is good, providing both some easier songs, and some others you can sink your teeth into. One quirk: I'm not sure why Mississippi Queen by Mountain, a band from New York City (!) is considered a Southern rock song. I mean, it's a great tune and all, but the only thing Southern about it is the mention of Mississippi in the title and lyrics. Several classics by The Allman Brothers and Skynyrd, though, make up for this geographical lapse.

I love this book, and plan to check out other volumes in the Play-Along series.
