Customer Reviews

Not the best tab, but worth the purchase

This book is great fun for somebody who doesn't mind an inaccurate tab. I, for one, am pretty picky and like to have an accurate tab- so I was a bit disappointed. But if you are good at learning songs based on ear, this tab book can help you learn the fundamentals of the song, while your ear can correct the bits in the tab book that are incorrect. Either way, I would definitely recommend it to a player anywhere from a beginner to an advanced. Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins guitarist & lead vocal) is an excellent guitarist with a wide range of playing, so all skill levels would have a blast learning these songs. I would better recommend buying the Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness tab book (it is 100% accurate).

Great!

This was also my first. It is a great book to learn from. I gained more knowledge from this book than I ever could have from a teacher. It covers different styles from textured melodies (Soma) to all out rock (Geek U.S.A - wanna learn a pentaconic scale?). Aside from the much lauded teaching abilities, this book faithfully reproduces every song from the album for a live performance of 2-4 guitars. It is wonderful. Get this and the album for your son or daughter that are just starting to get into playing music. The musical score included with the tabs also makes for a fun time with a piano and other instruments the book wasn't intended for.

MY FIRST AND BEST

This was my first guitar book, but by far the best one I've had. It's especially great to learn to play anything since Billy used so many basic chords and progressions. In all, it teaches some invaluable guitar lessons.

The Pumpkins' Siamese Dream guitar tab book is very cool.

I got this book when I first started playing the guitar. It is VERY helpful and I strongly recomend it. Billy Corgan's advice on playing the songs is great. All in all, this is one of the best guitar tabs money can buy.
