Guns N' Roses for Easy Guitar (Easy Recorded Versions) (Guitar Easy Recorded Versions) Review

Guns N' Roses for Easy Guitar [Paperback]

...I can't help but think that slowing the tracks down on the CD would have made it easier. Also, Perrin doesn't spend much time explaining the actual promised "breakdown" of Slash's work - the full title of the book is THE TECHNIQUES OF SLASH: THE BEST OF GN'R, but the title seems to change throughout - sometimes it's a demonstration of Slash's techniques, sometimes it's just tabs of their best songs with little explanation.

For example, he notes the "power strumming" for Civil War, but doesn't give any advice on how to strum the opening, which is in my opinion the hardest part.

It's still a good book and very useful because it contains accurate transcriptions of the songs, and many of them are indeed their best. However I also bought a tab book for Appetite for Destruction - the only bonus here is a few Use Your Illusion tracks and a CD, because the "tutoring" they promise on the back cover isn't exactly very helpful.

Also, don't be fooled by the back cover - November Rain, Bad Obsession and various others that are listed are NOT transcribed; brief solo passages are contained within a section called "Signature Slash Licks," which basically means you learn to play part of the November Rain solo, NOT the entire song (as I was lead to believe).

There's so much Appetite content in this book, I feel as if I paid twice for the same thing! But at least it has _some_ UYI songs, such as Yesterdays, which is fairly easy to play.

However also be aware that this is very hard - the solo for Sweet Child O' Mine is the hardest solo I've ever played, and they don't make it any easier with the CD. (Listen to how fast it goes!)

Good book, not perfect though.

Nuncrackers: the Nunsense Christmas musical takes us back to Mount St Helens Convent where we find the Little Sisters of Hoboken preparing for a Christmas presentation of The Nutcracker, with Sister Leo dancing the part of the Sugar Plum Fairy, in the new public access cable television studioReverend Mother built using the winnings from the Publishers ClearingHouse.However, as usually happens with the good Sisters, things gohorribly awry and the Sisters, along with Father Virgil and students fromMount St Helens School, attempt to repair the televised Christmas programthe only way they know how; through their faith and a few Broadway musicalnumbers!If your theatre company is looking for something different toproduce for the holidays, or if you just enjoy reading scripts, Nuncrackersis a fresh new option.This script full of colorful characters, hilariousdialogue, loving jabs at the Catholic faith, and a non-stop sense ofmerriment, is wrapped up in a beautiful Christmas package to share with anddelight the entire family.My rating is based on the fact that I haveenjoyed the other Nunsense materials written by Mr. Goggin, but too manysequels take the shine off of the original concept.If this is your firsttaste of the wacky world of Nunsence, then you are in for a treat withNuncrackers: the Christmas Musical
