In Session with Peter Green (Guitar Tab with Free Audio CD)
A**S
Excellent - far better than the DVD alternative
There are two products on Amazon which allow you to study and learn Peter Green-style playing. Of the two (the other is a double DVD which comes without tab), this is by far the best. The notation, tab and associated CD tracks are excellently produced. The tracks featured are -Black Magic WomanNeed your love so badMan of the worldAlbatross... and the less well known but superb ...Watch outMerry go roundFor those wanting to explore and develop a PG-style soloing technique, the last two tracks are especially useful.The book contains a lot of additional tips and licks and is, in all respects, a thoroughly well thought out study of Peter Green's magical playing. The backing tracks let you practise not only the various compositions but also provide the basis for your own jamming and invention. Who could ask for more?As an adjunct, if you want to truly explore Peter Green's sound, it is worth looking for one particular guitar which, at the time of writing is being sold by Amazon affiliates for VERY reasonable prices (around £250 - £300). It is also generally available elsewhere. This is the Vintage V100 MRPGM 'Lemon Drop' which, as far as I know, is the only Les Paul type guitar which comes as standard with the reversed humbucker and out-of-phase wiring which gave PG's instrument that famous sound. The 'Lemon drop' is only available as a relic'd (distressed) instrument whose looks may not be to everyone's tastes - but the sound IS excellent. Look for it on Youtube as well.--------------------------------------UPDATE 2016 -------------------------------Vintage now sell a non-relic'd version of the PG guitar in a tobacco sunburst finish.Hope that tip helps if you're a fan of Peter Green's original playing style.

Great music
Great book about a very good musicians' music.The book has the usual clear tab that you would expect from this range of books, and the cd offers lots of help by first giving you the song with the guitar part and then without to allow you to play along.This is a great way to learn at your own pace, take your time pete green was always an interesting musician and his music is never easy but it is playable with practice. Try 'man of the world' a rare piece of rock guitar.For the price you can't go wrong, add it to your library for any time reference.you don't need a les paul to play this stuff, but it will certainly help

Great instructional tips
Well written and clearly laid out format. Something to get your teeth into. Although not for the beginner, nevertheless a great book to take section by section as you improve. Would say that this will improve your skills and knowledge of guitar as you progress through your journey. Recommend it.

Accurate Tab & Well-Written Additional Notes
Very good book and CD. Backing tracks with & without lead/solo guitar together with normal and slowed tempo tracks. I found this really helpful for gaining familliarity with the songs. It also means you can play the guitar parts and put the vocal on as well.The additional notes covering each of the songs are really useful, pointing out key aspects of Green's playing style - such as the fast vibrato and delicate touch that are so much a part of these pieces.I would thoroughly recommend this volume and would certainly consider purchasing other volumes in the series.

In Session with Peter Green
I was really impressed with this purchase. Pretty much the same format as most Guitar Tab books, but I enjoyed the short biographical notes in the introduction and discography, as well as the more detailed info for each song.On the CD you get the usual full demo and backing tracks, as well as a similar demo and backing track for the solos, which have been slowed down. I haven't come across this feature before, and I have found it really useful.I would certainly recommend this book to anyone else, who is looking to nail some favourite tracks.
