Very Well put together. If you're into playing Jimi Hendrix and want to learn tracks off of Electric Lady Land, then this is the book for you. The color photos and background info on Jimi and the Album is pretty cool too. Five Stars!

I picked up this folio in 1989, the year it was published, at Frankfurt's 'Musik Messe'. Since then, the cover appears to have been updated, but I believe the contents are the same - as both editions are 280 pages. Added, my edition (HL00692932) has all the bass and drum parts tabbed out. Get this folio if only to wail on 'Voodoo Chile' and 'Come On (Part 1)'. I mean, just flog it! And tunes like 'Watchtower' and 'Burning of the Midnight Lamp', will teach you all about Jimi's 'Floyd Cramer' style of rhythm playing. Oh yeah, keep your thumb wrapped around that neck! And if your instructor smacks that digit with a pencil, like old man El Ray would do me, tell him classical guitar is for idiots and lose the jerk! (But, go ahead and learn some Albeniz anyway, if only for spite.)
