Led Zeppelin: Mothership - Authentic Guitar, Tab Edition

Get this in conjunction with the album. Together they are an awesome combination for learning these songs and a powerful tool for expanding your skills.

This is the book that has everything, every fill, every turnaround, every note... in detail. It shows chord fingerings all the way through every song so the beginner or intermediate guitarist will know where that one single note is coming from and be able to learn and grow from it. The details are just wonderful. You can not beat this book and for the price it's a steal. It's like finding the Rosetta Stone. Just buy it.

If u wanna learn some of the most iconic rock songs ever written, this book is an excellent source to learn from. I've learned a lot of songs from led zeppelin from using my ear but I do need a little help on some parts. Enjoying this book. Has lot if not all there biggest hits.

If you are a Zep fan and a guitar player you definetly must have this songbook! It's very accurate and the choice of songs is nearly perfect. One or two absolute classics have been left out, such as "In my time of dying", but it covers all the work of this majestic band!

The transcriptions in this book are very accurate, and in some parts even goes in depth into explain somethings, like pointing out notes that are really tape echo, and explaining why the G changes from beat one in the first two verses to beat two in the third verse onward in Dazed and Confused. It's also very complete, including all of the guitar parts, and in some places transcribing other instruments for guitar. However, there are some glaring errors in this book. There are places where the tablature does not match the notes that are written above. I've noticed this in several places throughout the book, and usually the notation is correct. So, if you only read tab, you might run into some problems in some spots. Either way, watch out for the mistakes. Overall, I don't think you'll be disappointed. But, they could have spent a little more time proofreading before going to press.

Bought it used and it was in great shape when it arrived. I think I saved $6 Well worth it. I just wish I could play 1/10 of a % like Pagey himself. So I practice practice practice. The book is well written and since we grew up with the songs it helps a lot. Some of it is way over my head. There are 5-6 songs that are fairly reasonable to understand

Has many details about the original performance of each song. Very useful for any player who wants to learn the intricacies of these songs. Thank you.

The most accurate TAB details I have found. Easy to read and provide all of the details to play complex Led Zeppelin songs from the album. Compared to other magazine notes, this is accurate.

Very awesome! Worth the buy!

Tolles Songbook.

こっちの方が激安。 こちらは平行輸入品なのかな？ あまりの値段の違いに最初買うのを躊躇ったぐらいですが、こちらの方で良い思います。

This book provides guitar transcriptions for all the songs on Led Zeppelin's Mothership 2-CD compilation. To give the full list, that's: Good Times Bad Times, Communication Breakdown, Dazed and Confused, Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, Whole Lotta Love, Ramble On, Heartbreaker, Immigrant Song, Since I've Been Loving You, Rock and Roll, Black Dog, When the Levee Breaks, Stairway to Heaven, The Song Remains the Same, Over the Hills and Far Away, D'yer Mak'er, No Quarter, Trampled Underfoot, Houses of the Holy, Kashmir, Nobody's Fault But Mine, Achilles' Last Stand, In the Evening, All My Love. That's 24 songs covering all of Led Zep's career. Because it's from a CD compilation, it's not a list specifically chosen for guitarists, of course, so there are a couple of songs (D'yer Mak'er, All My Love), which as a guitarist I'd like to have swapped (with, for instance, The Rain Song and The Ocean, perhaps), but you've certainly got the main ones any Led Zep guitar fan wants to learn (Stairway to Heaven, of course), and a good selection of others to get your teeth into. A few of the songs are in different tunings (When the Levee Breaks, Kashmir), but generally we're in standard EADGBE, so you'll have no trouble picking up your guitar and playing along with the CD. Generally, only the guitar parts and the vocal melody are transcribed, though there are a few occasions (such as where there aren't any guitars playing), where you get a keyboard transcription, sometimes tab'ed for guitar (the No Quarter electric piano intro, for instance), sometimes not (the clavinet riff that opens Trampled Underfoot, the keyboard intro to All My Love). Generally, there are only one or two guitar parts transcribed at any one moment, which means things aren't too cluttered and you're not having to turn the page all the time, but in some of the more epic songs (Achilles Last Stand), you've got three guitar parts at once, which I think is the maximum. Overall the transcription is excellent, but I did notice a few oddities. At one point in the Stairway to Heaven intro, for instance, the transcription has you holding the 5th fret of the A string while doing a pull-off (3rd fret to 2nd) on the top E string -- a bit of a stretch, and a silly way to do it when you can replace the 5th fret/A string with the open D string, which is I'm sure how Jimmy Page would have played it, not being one for pointless finger-stretching. Later, in the pre-solo bridge, there's an even more impossible-to-play chord in the tab, which becomes easy as soon as you shift it down a position and introduce some open strings. So, the notes are right, it's just how they're played on the fretboard that seems wrong. But I don't want to create the impression that the tab is littered with errors -- it's not, these were just a couple of minor points in an otherwise perfectly correct-sounding transcription. There's a lot of music in this book, which makes it great value for money. It covers a reasonable range of ability, too, with some of the more impressive-sounding songs (like Kashmir, and Immigrant Song) being pretty easy to play, but there's more complex stuff, too. (And I'm glad to see they've transcribed the super-fast Heartbreaker solo, and not done what one other Led Zep tab book I've seen once did, which is put in a note saying it was impossible to transcribe, and you should just play as fast as you can! Here, the notes are all present.)

As advertised. In very good condition.
