Jimi Hendrix - Winterland (Highlights) (Recorded Versions Guitar) Paperback – November 1, 2012

When I ordered this book I expected nothing less from Hal Leonard than a detailed and incredibly accurate transcription of Hendrix's Winterland Album. The only thing that I could complain about is that it is just the transcription of album tracks. If you go on YouTube and type f.e. "Hendrix Winterland Hey Joe" you will find a version with a great intro and a sort of intro jam that I hoped to get a transcription of. This book DOES NOT contain what's not on the album.

Hendrix was a master of improving variations on the recorded versions of his songs and this contains a great selections of his hits and the standards he incorporated into his live sets. The transcription 'Like a Rolling Stone' is especially interesting both for his interpretation of Dylan and as a song not recorded in the studio but important to his musical philosophy.

A good tab book for all Jimi fans, only a Like A Rolling Stone tab could spend you a couple of weeks to enjoy the fretwork of Hendrix beside the Monterey version. But don't expect the famous long intro Hey Joe Winterland version is included.

With this tab book they could have transcribed tax free, lover man or killing floor. Really didn't need any more tabs of the classics. we all know them...
