Review: I didn't know that what I was really looking for was something like a Play Along book - As a signature lick book, and not every song is complete. Being that this was my first guitar book, not counting the Hal Leonard Method 1 book, I didn't know that what I was really looking for was something like a Play Along book. However, for what it is, it is excellent. The breaks downs are simple and easy to understand. The demo tracks are excellent, and most of those that are performed at a slower pace for practice are well-chosen. The tab for Walk Don't Run contains every note of the melody that you need to play the entire song, which I do, at least once a day. In fact, it was to learn that song that I bought the book. And I thought that I would never learn to play the whole thing. Yet, a few short months later, I could play it from beginning to end. I thought I was going to cry tears of joy the first time through. Wipeout seemed impossibly fast at 150 BPM. It isn't. As I noted above, the book does not include every part of every song, but you can piece the fragments together. For example, the tab does not include the solo from Wipeout, but if you know C Minor pentatonic scale, you can easily figure it out, or play something that approximates it.
Review: Easy to use. - Good way to Learn " The Ventures way.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Fun!
*by H***S on May 22, 2007*

If you like The Ventures you gotta have this book. Their greatest hits are tabbed so you can have fun soloing or put together an arrangement to play with your buddies or at a gig. I'm working my way through each tune with my Strat, enjoying every minute. A great book!
