There are MISTAKES in the tab March 2, 2007 Git-crazy (PDX) 5 out of 7 found this review helpful
Overall a good source, however certain songs have several mistakes. The tapping section of "Eruption" is tabbed on the "G" string! WRONG! Its played in different positions and on the "B" string!! The last part of the solo in "On Fire" is also incorrectly tabbed on the "G" string, Again, should be the "B" string. Many other subtle mistakes are found throughout. So if you are already versed in the Van Halen style, you will KNOW where the mistakes are, if you are not, most assuredly confusion and frustration will ensue. CAVEAT EMPTOR!
Very Nice Book!!! January 10, 2007 Xenofon Tsakiridis (Athens, Greece) 1 out of 3 found this review helpful
You've got to have some experience with tabs before otherwise you'll find it hard because it's a very detailed book.The techniques described are not the easiest.
Hey Kids, get your Van Halen guitar tabs!!! April 23, 2006 Jim Kane 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book is perfect for the beginner to turn into a more advanced guitar player. The tabs are easy to read, the stuff isn't that difficult to play, and the songs are legendary and still heard on the radio today. I say go for it.
Van Halen I & II August 20, 2000 Christian A. McCue (Fort Lauderdale, Florida USA) 7 out of 11 found this review helpful
If you are into learning rock / hard rock guitar, this book provides the key to exploring some of the most brilliant electric guitar composition to date. Although this music is somewhat dated, the guitar virtuosity of Edward Van Halen is timeless. The book provides excellent guitar tablature of all of Van Halen's fist two releases. Recommended accompaniments to this book are 1) Peavey Wolfgang Electric Guitar, 2) Peavey 5150 Combo Amp, & 3) the CD's of the first two albums.
