Summary: Good But Could Be Better
Review: I was given this book as a present. The book explains very well but it could be more in depth descriptions. It doesn't show you how to move the wah pedal, it just says w/wah. Overall this book is very good for the beginner guitarist. If the author could make this book again they should have performace notes on all of the songs.

Summary: Awesome Metallica learning source!
Review: If you are a Metallica fan and play guitar, then this book is a must! Learn all of Hetfield's Rythym and Hammett's solos. I learned more than 90% of this book's song already-with ease.

Summary: Yet Another Review
Review: Not necessarily a tab book to own in order to play the songs off the "Black" album. However, the "Black" tab book is definitely a must-buy for not only the avid Metallica muso-fan, but for those wishing to upskill themselves in various guitar techniques. As mentioned elsewhere, take all tabs with a grain of salt, however, the solos are a near-enough note-by-note transcription and each riff is intricately tabbed to include even the most subtle of variations. Includes a very well-written introduction, outlining some very important and helpful tips to assist you in your mastery of one of Metllica's finest albums. In a one-line verdict: A definite must-have, even as a collector's item!

Summary: Sloppy Transcriptions
Review: Of Metallica's first 5 albums, this songbook probably suffers the worst from transcription errors. The first printing of the book was released less than a month after the album was, so if you consider the time it took to transcribe, typeset, edit and get it printed, this was a rush job. The Unforgiven suffers the most in the book in terms of accuracy (the verse riff is so very wrong), while Sad But True has a few problems as well. Is anyone ever going to transcribe the eerie micro-tonal slide part of the chorus? I don't know if subsequent printings have corrected some of the errors or not, but I do know that Guitar For the Practicing Musician (who were involved with the early Metallica songbooks) did release a 'Metallica Special' magazine that corrected the Unforgiven and Blackened (from AJFA), as well as a corrected version of Sad But True in their monthly magazine.

Summary: Good for Beginners who love Metallica
Review: This is a good book for Metallica fans who just started playing guitar. It has some of the greatest hits from Kill em All to the Black Album. Be careful, it doesn't teach you to play all of the songs the same way that metallica does. This could be a problem for perfectionists. Also, it doesn't transcribe the whole songs, just the majority of the rhythm guitar. If you're not just starting out, don't buy this book, buy a "play it like it is" book.
