    1 out of 5 stars Rip Off Alert! Beware!   August 25, 2006
    Douglas Vanni (Adrift In Consciousness)
    4 out of 4 found this review helpful

    This folio contains only studio versions of the songs from 'Bonfire'. There are no live transcriptions from Atlantic and Paris. There are no transcriptions to the alternate takes from Volts. And many of the outro solos are not tabbed - it merely will say something like "ad lib solo next 60 bars". Added, these Amsco books are badly engraved, poorly edited, and questionably transcribed.

    Now, let me paraphrase and then comment upon the the Editor's Note found inside this folio, which reads: "Although most of the tunes that appear on...'Bonfire' have appeared on previous studio albums...some of the...live performances...exhibit some subtle and spontaneous nuances not found in the studio vesions. In addition, 'Bonfire' features more than one version of certain songs. In deciding which versions to include in the present folio, we spent a lot of time listening to the 'Bonfire' collection and comparing the live versions with their studio counterparts...the studio versions (are) tighter (and) more familiar. For this reason, for AC/DC tunes that exist in more than one version, we have based the transcriptions on the studio version."

    So to comment - that Editor's Note is total baloney. For they spent no time listening to 'Bonfire'. The decision to release this folio as all studio cuts, was simply an excuse for Amsco (Scamsco) to rehash the transcriptions from their previous 'Dirty Deeds: Best of AC/DC' folio, because identical transcriptions appear in both.

    In closing, Scamsco should be strung up by the guitar community in general, for daring to reference this junk as 'Bonfire'. Why the back cover even shows all four albums from 'Bonfire'. Yet only 40% of 'Bonfire' is actually transcribed (less if you account for missing solos). So this book is just plain old lousy - one/half star.



    2 out of 5 stars Not worth the price   April 9, 2004

    Take my word that these AMSCO books are not worth your money. The tabs to the latest songs on Bon Fire are completly wrong. They are the tabs to the recorded version from Highway To Hell and not the demo tracks from the BonFire Volts CD!!!!

    The only song that has been tabbed almost correct from VOLTS is "back seat confidentionl" but the other tracks are that of which was on HTH and not what is on the album.... it is a rip off to buy a tab book for an album and they have not got that song tabbed!

    If you see this book at a cheap price, then it would be worth a purchase, but dont pay too much, because no more then 60% of the book has been tabbed correctly, and the transcripts are incoorect to way too many songs!


    5 out of 5 stars Great Book!! Buy It!!   June 16, 2003

    Terrific Book by ac/dc. I own a guitar and every song in this book sounds perfect, just like the song! It even has tabs and which count to play each note on, the tempo and the standard notation (sheet music). Great book. In case you don't know, the title BONfire comes from the singer BON Scott. These are all the songs that he performed before his tragic death (choking on own vomit). All of their best songs were performed by him and are in this book. The format is very simple, it gives you the main riffs and labels them such as "Rythm figure 1". Then, when you need to play rythm figure 1 along with the lyrics, it says "with rythm figure 1". It even has the solos!!!!! GREAT BUY. EVERY AC/DC FAN NEEDS IT!!!!

    Everything you need for AC/DC from 1975-1980, including never before heard tracks! Easy to use and play. If you want to play the classic thunder chords of AC/DC, this will be a great book for you.


    4 out of 5 stars This book is perfect for the begining guitar player.   March 13, 1999

    I've played guitar my whole life and I just got into AC/DC, most of their songs are just chords, making it simple for beginners to play awesome songs like TNT, Back In Black, and You Shook Me... The only thing I have a problem with this book is that they're missing a great one like Dirty Deeds... which dissapointed me a bit but the book kicks anyway.
