Customer Reviews

Good for Starting Guitarist

Helps you get those hard to learn tabs right that those guitar tsb sites can never get right. I'd sit for hours on end tryinh to get one song, why waist you time when you can get it right now? This is my favorite musical book printed

Good even for Beginners

I got this for Christmas several years ago. I only had an acoustic guitar- no electric, but it didn't affect my learning of the music. The songs are well wrote and playing them even by yourself is fun. The best songs in the book to learn are "Zero" and "Stumbeliene." Zero shows you how to get the awesome musical sounds that James Iha plays on the song. Really really awesome.

If you play guitar, this book is a must!

I first got this book just to see if I could learn a few Pumpkins songs on a whim. I really wasn't as big of a fan of them then simply because I hadn't matured as a musician. I bought the book, took it home, and started checking it out. Wow, I had no idea how intelligent Billy Corgan is, actually, I think that his advice in the first few pages has helped me to mature as a musician, and his words on style, inspiration, and gear have helped me every step of the way. The tabs were terrific as well. Billy, unknowingly, has taught me that, with practice and faith in myself, I can do anything! Thanks Billy!

Inspiring and Wonderful!

Only after I took these tabs home did I discover the Guitar World articles by Billy Corgan. Corgan's advice to the beginning songwriter is heartening... this book is a must for an SP fan beginning to write their own music.

Guitar Tab Book

This book is dead on and a must for every Pumpkin/Guitar head! It also includes interviews w/Billy from a guitar magazine! What else can I say? You can't go wrong . . . .
