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
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.
I had this book years ago only it was the edition with the bass and drums score, which is a little excessive if you just want the guitar parts and that's where this book doesn't disappoint. From the open chords of "Have You Ever Been To Electric Lady Land" to the final notes of "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" every note, every moment every scream and every chord voicing is here.
Another Great Andy Aledort tab book. If you want to get ALL the parts down to Jimi's songs, Andy is the way to go. This book is best used with the 'All of Electric Ladyland' DVD that is also by Aledort. That's the 'ALL OF' DVD. Not to be confused with Andy's 'BEST OF' DVD on the album. It's not always on sale, so if you see it, snap it up. Anyway, you can't go wrong with this book.
Jimi Hendrix was a composer who used musical overlays to create the songs on his albums. Many musical tracks were combined to form the final product. These overlays are evident in this songbook. Reading the guitar tab parts is like trying to read the musical score for an orchestral arrangement. The tabs for the guitar parts are layered so you can follow the note arrangements for a particular part, but if you are trying to re-create the musical flow, you have to "jump" from tab line to tab line. This can be difficult if you are not fluent in reading tab signature for guitar. The learning curve for technique can be difficult for all but the more advanced guitarist.I have learned a number of the songs in this book to where I am happy with the results, but the amount of time that it took to get there may have been better applied to books that teach blues method or lead guitar methods rather than to try to pick them up from this book.That said, this book shows the mastery of technique over a wide range of musical style. One of my favorite albums... one of my favorite music books.Remember that Jimi Hendrix played a right handed guitar with his left hand. This makes a big difference in attack form, hammers and rolls on the strings.
Try learning these slow you'll find very fine nuances by Hendrix if you listen to yourself and carefully read/follow the tablature. Comes with the notation too. Beautiful music that blends with how you remember him. You can always speed up later. If you can't remember listen to his albums, then you'll remember. If you never heard him before then your very lucky and you get to hear him firsthand.
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!!!!!
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!
