Metropolis scenes from a memory book August 10, 2008
all of the tabs are very accurate. since Petrucci helped edit it, the tabs are more accurate than what you would find on an internet tab site. if you are looking for an accurate book this is it along with any other Dream Theater book.

It is exactly what it says February 22, 2006
This book is simply what it says it is. It's note for note. I often sit down and read the book while listening to this work of art. The information found in this book is awesome...take from it the licks and chord harmonies and help shape your own playing. If you want to know how to play these songs, buy this book. Its simple.
awesome October 6, 2005
this book is correct note by note. The fact that Petrucci edited it makes it even more amazing.

Where I really learn from Dream Theater is when I read this score while the CD is playing. Because, after all, this book really is a very thorough score for the album, allowing you to watch at least two of the parts in action (guitar and voice), plus the occasional piano part written out. Since I play both piano and guitar, and sing, it's like having a partial orchestration provided for my education. And I do learn from this music. You will, too, and that can only help your own technical ability. Of course, you really need to know how to read music (and quickly, in some sections) to read the book while the CD is playing. As Petrucci says in another book, regular practice is the greatest boost to proficiency - so if you get this book, read thru it with the studio recording, and practice regularly, you will learn how to play this music. Maybe not as well, maybe not as spontaneously, but there are so many techniques here you'll gain a solid foundation for rock playing and writing. Not a bad return on your $25 investment, as long as you're willing to put in the time, too.Not every page is going to surprise you, because there's a lot of repetition in DT's music and usually with enough subtle variation that few shortcuts can be taken and still remain faithful to the original songs. You'll see that here. You'll also see plenty of "Riffs" and "Rhythm Figures", too. Again, the trick is to see how they constructed their songs and appreciate both the repetition and the changes. You will learn from this book, which is an excellent transcription of the guitar and voice parts, and I think you'll enjoy it every step of the way. 5 stars simply because this is such a great resource for any guitarist's education -- and it's such great music, too.
