Summary: Very accurate - at times too accurate
Review: All in all, a great tab book to a fantastic album; David Gilmour is really a fascinating player with a very unique style, and this book is a great way of learning about Gilmour's technique, and thus understand Pink Floyd as musicians as well as the guitar as an instrument much better. Some songs here are very easy to play, even for beginners, and others are more complicated, so it's better to start with the easier ones like 'Hey You', then build up to the more sophisticated riffs and solos.The book is very accurate, and has few errors; but in that accuracy lies its biggest failing. Many times the transcriber made too much of an effort to put down every single sound on the album, and thus take small, almost unnoticable ticks and scratches and write them down as 'unpitched percussive notes'(i.e blocked notes). Those are very confusing and many times completely unnecessary. I played the Wall CD in full volume and still wasn't able to hear many of these notes (I wouldn't be surprised if some of them were gleeches in the recording which were removed during the CD remastering). Of the ones I did hear, I'm sure at least some were not intentional. Bottom line: excellent book, but more for studying of Gilmour's playing than for actually playing the songs.

Summary: Well, what can i say
Review: Roger really out did himself with this album. Not the best from my point of view, but on the scale of things one of the best lyically in the world to date. Pink Floyd, with Dave Gilmours huge influence, has written the best 'story' album in history. The depth that Waters has gone into is just ....wow. The story of a boy called Pink Floyd along with the film is just a true image of what was waters and barret's life lead to. A wounderfull view into the world that is Pink Floyd. Listen to it, is the only thing I can say, and you will never turn your back from Pink Floyd

Summary: Classic Creation, a must have!
Review: Roger Waters has done it again, one of the most amazing CDs in the history of Symphonic Rock, this book is very well designed illustrated and written, for all of you who play the electric guitar this book is a must. Includes all the songs from the double CD The Wall. and if you play the acoustic guitar, hey there are songs like "Hey You". I just got it and I it's amazing!
Comfortably numb matches the original version exactly, and nothing is more satisfying than being able to play pink Floyd solos. You got some things for Piano as well - like 'Nobody's home'. FUn to play, fun to sing, buy it you won't regret it.

Summary: An in-depth look at the music of The Wall
Review: The tab of The Wall, this was my first tab book, and at first I was blown away, it is advanced, and I was not. But after a while even a beginer can start to play a few songs. This book is very detailed and very good, although there are a few mistakes in the transposing this tab is for the most part very accurate and is a great place to start to understand the musical genius of Waters and the guitar stylings of Gilmore (or Gilmore-isms as I call them). That, to me, is the real purpose of tab,, and with Pink Floyd it is extremely important, this book captures that with both the tab, and the orriginal art work from the Wall. Waters and Gilmore are brillant,,--- buy this book.

Summary: Almost great
Review: This book includes every single song in The Wall, and even does it's best to write out every guitar solo for you. However, as with most Piano/Vocal books these days, the vocal line is in with the piano part. This makes it hard sometimes to tell what the original accompaniment parts are, but I bought the guitar tab edition also, and by combining that with this book you can get some pretty good stuff.
