Number Tabs for all Black Album songs

While this is not among my favorite Metallica albums, it does have a few songs that are much easier to learn for the beginner and intermediate guitarist. As much as I practice songs from Kill em all (their best in my opinion), I completed songs from this album much faster. This album has every note for rhythm and lead, and I have not seen any other versions of this book that may trick you into buying a summary version (such as you see with the Garage inc tab book). You are provided both musical notation and number tabs (for musical dummies like myself), and in the few parts that you do not see number tabs and just see a note (G,A,etc), the song starts with a key that number tabs each note (ex: a 5-7 on the bottom two strings = A Chord type thing). Absolutely no complaints on this book. There is even a guitar key at the start (as there is with every Cherry Lane tab book) that shows you what an H or P means in the tabs as well as about 20 other symbols. Probably the easiest to play of the first 5 Metallica albums, and more recognizable songs to the general rock listener.

Yet Another Review

Not necessarily a tab book to own in order to play the songs off the "Black" album. However, the "Black" tab book is definitely a must-buy for not only the avid Metallica muso-fan, but for those wishing to upskill themselves in various guitar techniques.As mentioned elsewhere, take all tabs with a grain of salt, however, the solos are a near-enough note-by-note transcription and each riff is intricately tabbed to include even the most subtle of variations.Includes a very well-written introduction, outlining some very important and helpful tips to assist you in your mastery of one of Metllica's finest albums.In a one-line verdict: A definite must-have, even as a collector's item!

Excellent for beginners and advanced bass players

It helped me master alot of Metallica's songs.I'm sure it will help you too.

Great book

If you love metallica and playing guitar this is the book for you. It has great tab and its easy to follow. I love this book and i plan on buying many more.

Awesome Metallica learning source!

If you are a Metallica fan and play guitar, then this book is a must! Learn all of Hetfield's Rythym and Hammett's solos. I learned more than 90% of this book's song already-with ease.
