 it's missing something April 29, 2009
M. Higgins (Toronto)
Maybe i missed something in reading the reviews, but I had assumed the cd with the book included backing tracks, especially as one reviewer mentions the band. Most of these instruction book/cds do include backing tracks, at least the ones I have. Playing along with a good rhythm section, in time and in tune, is the only way to master the tunes and improve as a player and also by the way a lot of fun. On the plus side, although i'm not a huge fan of Andy A's playing and tone, I really respect his Hendrix-related work; the text and his commments in this book are extensive and helpful and entertaining, and the notes as usual seem pretty accurate to me.

The music is pretty much spot on, I'm disappointed that they did not include the lyrics just to make things a little easier.

This is probably the single best source out there to truly learn Hendrix's techniques and secrets on his most famous recordings. I've been playing quite a long time, and I have already learned a great deal from this well laid out text/CD. I copied all of the tracks into iTunes, so I can easily access different peices of the example tracks.
This book will improve your playing techniques and tone no matter where you are in your playing journey. The author has probably the best guitar tone in the industry, and he lists all of his equipment. The description and teachings of each section are very well done. His choice of words to describe different techniques and sounds is excellent.
There are a lot of decent guitar books out there, but this author and his books stand out. If want to learn Hendrix, you absolutely need to buy this book.
Hendrix Signature Licks Vol2 April 29, 2006

THIS is how to play a stratocaster; THIS is how it should sound; T H I S is how a Signature Licks book should be done. Accurate transcriptions; great song, phrasing and tone analysis. Andy Aledort knows this music inside out and it shows here. The CD is good enough to listen to anytime.
The best of the SL series.
CAUTION: Master this and you're still only scratching the surface Grasshopper.

It's a good start to getting your fingering and cord structure down, these books give you a good place to start. THEN: after you watch some DVDS of Jimi at the Isle or Wright or At Berkley - you slap yourself and run away in disgust with your meager attempts at playing his songs. THEN, you pick the guitar up again with a better understanding of what Jimi was doing with his songs, with where he wanted to go with it, and make yourself a lot better sounding guitar playing.
