This book is absolutely phenomenal.The arrangements made by Howard Morgen are very specific to detail and give you a great idea of the melodic genius that is Gershwin.I believe this book to be a necessity in any jazz guitarists collection.I can't begin to explain how much this book improved my reading, left-hand technique, and right-hand fingerstyle technique.I strongly recommend this book!

Product Description:
More than four decades since their first album, and 35 years after the release of the iconic Dark Side of the Moon, Pink Floyd continue to inspire and mystify rock fans around the world. Pink Floyd FAQ, by pop culture author Stuart Shea, lays out the band's strange, winding history through a new series of prisms. What were the band's most memorable gigs? What are their greatest moments on record, as a group and individually? What contemporary records influenced them, and which performers follow in their wake? What was it like to be at a Pink Floyd show in 1967, in 1973, in 1980? Pink Floyd FAQ tells the band's story, dissects their most popular work, and provides little-known facts, all adding up to a provocative must-read for fans. With 400 pages of stories, history, observation, opinion, photos, and reminiscences from those who were there, Pink Floyd FAQ will discuss frankly what made the band great - as well as note their not-so-great moments - and their place in modern pop culture, giving credit where credit is due - and maybe puncturing some inflatable pigs along the way.

Pink Floyd Anthology Review

Pink Floyd Anthology [Paperback]
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The last review was a fair assessment, as is a 3 star rating.I'd say the mix of songs included is pretty good but the detail is just not there if you want to learn Gilmour's trademark solos and melodies.However, as Gilmour put it, nobody in the band was very good at complicated chord structures and most of their songs are fairly straightforward.So even a novice should be able to pick up the gist of their songs with this book.That's probably all you should take from it anyway, the big picture, because Pink Floyd have always been a band where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.One glaring error, however,is that Astronomy Domine is in the wrong key...but otherwise a great tool for Floyd fans of their earlier work.

Play Guitar with...David Gilmour (Music Sales America) Review

Play Guitar with...David Gilmour [Paperback]

Frankly, i was excited to see that there was a book out in publication in David's style. I saw it in a guitar store and was disappointed with the list of songs that you can learn to play. I was hoping that there would bedogs, echoes, pigs on the wing II, wish you were here, shine on, highhopes, Time, Is there anybody out there etc. But the only good song in thisbook for playing with the guitar is On the Turning away. The other songsare effects pedals ridden. Its hard to play them if you don't have a bigpedal board (Well, maybe not Dogs of War). Seriously disappointed. And itis $20!

Pink Floyd - The Wall (Piano and Vocal) Review

Pink Floyd - The Wall [Paperback]
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
All in all, a great tab book to a fantastic album; David Gilmour is really a fascinating player with a very unique style, and this book is a great way of learning about Gilmour's technique, and thus understand Pink Floyd as musicians as well as the guitar as an instrument much better. Some songs here are very easy to play, even for beginners, and others are more complicated, so it's better to start with the easier ones like 'Hey You', then build up to the more sophisticated riffs and solos.
The book is very accurate, and has few errors; but in that accuracy lies its biggest failing. Many times the transcriber made too much of an effort to put down every single sound on the album, and thus take small, almost unnoticable ticks and scratches and write them down as 'unpitched percussive notes'(i.e blocked notes). Those are very confusing and many times completely unnecessary. I played the Wall CD in full volume and still wasn't able to hear many of these notes (I wouldn't be surprised if some of them were gleeches in the recording which were removed during the CD remastering). Of the ones I did hear, I'm sure at least some were not intentional.
Bottom line: excellent book, but more for studying of Gilmour's playing than for actually playing the songs.

A very well written book, that sheet music is note by note exactly as to what Pink Floyd plays. Besides it is a very good looking book, because not only you get cool pictures of the band, places, etc. But you also get the sheets in different colors, not only black and white.
