Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I picked this book up when I was first teaching myself guitar about 8 years ago, and the main reason I was teaching myself guitar is because I wanted to learn how to play my favorite Dylan tunes and get to the heart of the magic of his songwriting. This book covers much of his most glorious material, basically from Blonde on Blonde through Desire. That means you can learn how to play Visions of Johanna, Simple Twist of Fate, Hurricane or any of the Basement Tapes ditties. In addition to having superb material, the book has the most sensible layout of any folio I've ever purchased: a key to all the chords used in the song appears on the top of EVERY page, so when you flip to the end of the verse you don't have to flip back again to remember what an F#m7 looks like; this is obviously beneficial to a new player. By and large the chords seem to be accurate; some songs sound closer to the album than others, and I've read that many Dylan songs were recorded in unorthodox tunings, but if you want to get the gist of "Tangled up in Blue" or "Lay Lady Lay" (which sounds dead-on) you'll be more than happy with the way it's spelled out here. I think this book is around, so if you're willing to hunt through a few well stocked music or book stores you could probably find it. It would be well worth your while
