Reviews
This is advertised as a tab book. It is mainly tabs, but not all tabs. One of the songs that I really wanted to have fun with "King Tut" is in standard music notation. Not sure why any standard notation is in this "tablature" book. Especially because in the introduction Steve Martin even writes that he cant read standard music notation. He can only read tabs.Since many of the songs are in tab the book is not a complete fail for me...just the one song I mainly wanted from the book. With respect to King Tut, the solos are tabbed, but I wanted the whole song. Oh well.
