The Best of George Thorogood -- Guitar Anthology: Guitar/TAB/Vocal (Guitar Anthology Series)

The book arrived in pristine quality and is exactly the kind of songbook I expected it to be: staves of sheet music with lyrics and guitar tablature included. It's a great layout for musicians who aren't well-versed in sight-reading (or reading at all) sheet music.The book fits on a music stand, too, which is nice. If you're a big, in-depth fan of George Thorogood, this book might not satiate you, but for musicians who love his radio hits and fervently want to learn how to play them, this songbook is great.

Great Book .Very easy to understand. If you like Thorogoods style of guitar playing,this ones for you.....

Spot on tabs

Awesome

I'm sure this is a great book full of tablature that is correct in it's ability to show the playing style of George. However, the format in the Kindle version is so small it is unreadable. I even put it on my PC and broadcast it on my wall at 4ft high! Sill not readable! Don't waste you time with the Kindle version. I returned it before the first hour was up. You would think it could be done in a way as to make it readable.

Thank you for your prompt delivery and excellent book.

I got this specifically for Madison Blues. I am learning to play slide guitar, and I wanted to learn a song using slide that's easy. I tried some of Duane Allman's stuff, and I'm just not ready for that right now. It's very well documented and very accurate. In addition to the slide part it has tab for another rhythm guitar. But I was just interested in the slide party. It's spot on and easy to follow. It even has a diagram showing the tuning which for Madison Blues it's open D. I recommend this for intermediate guitar players. George Thorogood is no Duane Allman or Angus Young. He picked up the guitar to impress girls, not to explore the technical aspects of playing so most of his stuff is probably easier to play than most blues.

En ce qui concerne le lvre tout est parfait !! Le seul probleme est que le facteur la laisser devant la porte et j'aurais tres bien pu me le fair voler !!

Good Stuff in this book

This book contains accurate transcriptions of the singing melody and guitar parts to his best songs. He's slightly a one trick pony so there was a limited but fun amount of learning to be had from this book.

I was looking forward to receiving this tab book, but I'm a bit disappointed to be honest. Half of the songs are alternate tunings (6 out of 12). I understand the artist could have used those in the original recordings, but for me I would have preferred a collection of songs in standard tuning, as half the book is basically useless for me. I don't have a collection of guitars to keep them in exotic tunings. I understand these are the artist's bigger hits, but surely they can be played with standard tuning, or different songs could be selected from his good-sized library. For this reason, I would recommend it as I just didn't feel the value was there for the price.
