My playing has improved TREMENDUSLY since begininning using them. What I do mostly that works for me; and is most fun for me; is to learn the intro and a few key verses of a song; and then simply improvise the rest; which helps me practice my pentatonic scales and such. So I rarely ever learn an entire song note for note; but to jam along to a familar song and put my own spin on it is really rewarding. This book has many of AC/DCs well known songs; and the backing tracks are AWESOME! I learned "Dirty Deeds" and its fairly easy to learn the hook; then jam out the rest. The tone I can match perfectly with my Mustang III amplifier. Anyway; these guitar play along books are a lot of fun; and really help you become better.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
