77Jesters Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 How about using those hands to start scanning, and put together an Ebook of it?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shackler118 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I got it too, it gets pretty detailed with effects.For example, it says specifically you need a digitech wah pedal for shacklersIt also says who does what solo aswell wich is also cool too. Great book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Sounds like this book is quite good then! I ordered my copy from Amazon today (finally) so it should be here in a couple days then I'll be able to look through. It'll be interesting just to read about what they say for each solo.Also, for those who ask for scans, do you really think somebody is going to spend all their time scanning more than 230 pages just for you? Especially after having paid for the book. It's not going to happen - unless somebody is feeling extremely generous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W 23 Axl III Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I got it too, it gets pretty detailed with effects.For example, it says specifically you need a digitech wah pedal for shacklersIt also says who does what solo aswell wich is also cool too. Great book.If you call "Digitech Whammy Pedal set one octave down" as detailed FX information, than you're easy to please.As experienced players know, there is a lot more that goes into getting a sound. I was looking for FX settings, EQ's used, compression settings, delays and reverbs, any chorus's used, flangers....and some info on their settings. I have the book, havent gone thru it much, but its bare-bones regarding information. The TABs look accurate though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the book, havent gone thru it much, but its bare-bones regarding information. The TABs look accurate though.Its a tab book, not a damn dvd, that was just an example anyway. The other gnr tab books barley even have any explanation, for example on welcome to the jungle, in the intro it just says over the staff "with echo device", meanwhile in the CD book on one of Bucketheads solo, it tells you how to use Les paul style effects and gets into detail on it, I'd copy it, but I'm a little lazy. And don't try pulling that "experienced players" shit either, its tired and no one cares about some dude on the internet bragging about skills. Shit like that annoys people. Trust me I know what I'm talking about when it comes to guitars, and I'm definately "experienced", but again I'm not gonna brag. Now go unpause your Nuno Bettencourt youtube lesson.

jellyzero Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 The guitar book actually makes up for some of the errors in the CD booklet as it has all the writers for the songs listed. For example, the song "Chinese Democracy" was written by Rose/Freese/ (and) Finck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJG Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 For those asking about scans: JUST BUY THE FUCKING BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!UK price it works out than less than a pound a song! I'm sure it won't be far off everywhere else...If you can't get it in your country and don't want to pay to import it you can get each individual track for $0.99 from guitarinstructor.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Indeed.I got mine the other day and the tabs seem pretty accuarate, certainly clears up a lot of misconceptions I had when learning the songs. One of the best tab books I have seen in terms of accuracy.That being said, I paid for mine (which was less than $20 by the way) so why on earth would I spend the tedious amount of time it would take to make scans for everybody?Just buy it. Trust me, it's worth it. Good book! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJG Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Yes - it would take forever to scan. And it would destroy the spine!I've never seen the picture on the front before quite so close up. Is it just me or does anyone else find it disturbing that some of the fetus' have big breasts??!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlisOld Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I agree that this doesn't need to get scanned for people too cheap to buy it. But seriously, all I want is the last lick of the IRS solo. I can figure everything else out but that monster sweep lick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please help.standard tuning. e a d g b e. same goes for madagascar aswellReally, thank you. I was confused because there was usually a key telling you what the song was in. Shackler's and Scraped are tuned down to B, that's nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young_Gun Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Shackler's and Scraped are tuned down to B, that's nasty.It says its in Drop D tuning(down 1 1/2 steps) but then it says the tuning is B-F#-B-E-G#-C#. Im pretty sure the first B is a typo as you would need a 7 string guitar to tune down that low, unless you want the string to feel like a loose elastic band. Im pretty sure Shacklers and Scraped are in Drop D tuning. Really nice book, pretty spot on tabs, much better then on the net.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guitar got into drop B fine and when I played a long they sounded ok enough. It's a good book, it'll take me a long time to get through it, there's so much going on. I'm glad to own it now though.

I'm glad to own it now though.Guns N' Roses tunes down a half a step as a start, for everything. So when you go down half a step you're in eb which is (starting from small to big) eb Bb Gb Db Ab Eb or, d# A# F# C# G# D#. You tune those down one full step. and you get: c# F# B E G# C#. Now tune your c# down a full step (bringing it to drop D configuration) and you get a b, or a#. It's correct, and to get that low you just need thicker strings. .52 gauge or somewhere around there.

It just refers to "Drop B" tuning, which is the equivalent of saying "Drop D down 1 1/2 Steps". They say it that way to relate it to the Standard Drop D tuning, which is where "Drop B" comes from as you start tuning down.
