Good Show

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!

Jimi is still the man.

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.)

NOTE-FOR-NOTE

This is the closest guitar tablature book note for note that I have come across in a long time. Electric Ladyland is truely one of jimi hendrix's biggest accomplishments by all means. And I feel every guitarist should try to pick up some of hendrix's best works including Voodoo Chile (slight return). After I learned most of the songs in this book I got much better at guitar..........carying my guitar solo's much longer and performing much better LIVE. This also made me a better blues player with the performence of Voodoo Chile the long blues version. Their are many pictures in this book as well as the lyrics included. This book does not include the CD so you would have to purchase that before you bought the book. Everyone can play their best with this jimi hendrix's electric ladyland-guitar tablature.

HENDRIX ELECTRIC LADYLAND

This Jimi Hendrix Electric Ladyland book includes the music and the tab for guitar. This book is very hard to play you should atleast be famillar with some Hendrix before you go and buy this. It took me a month to learn 4 songs thats alot for me a month? Well anyways it includes the same booklet as in the CD only huge pages with large print. If your a guitarist looking to get a Hendrix Tribute together this would be great a few songs I love are Crosstown Traffic, All Along The Wacthower, Voodoo Chile(slight return). Also make sure you have the Electric Ladyland on CD before you buy this so you can play along and also get the song down note for note. Of course not anyone can play exactly like Hendrix I mean this guy had his own style just like any other guitarist. Well I think I have said enough about this masterpiece enjoy!!!!!

a trip through electric ladyland

this is a truly amazing representation of the works of jimi hendrix. i played the tabs right along with the music and it matches perfectly for the most part. of course there are always a few discrepencies, but no one can or ever will be able to match what the rock 'n roll gypsy himself did, especially not on paper. i would recommend anyone who is interested in learning to play like hendrix to try this book out. with the tablature it makes it easy for players at almost any level, from novice to advanced, to learn how to play jimi hendrix's greatest works
