This book is a joke! Mistakes in every area-take the transcription of "Zap" for instance. An Ab chord in the standard notation, but the tab shows a Db chord! The opening run-how do you slur from an F on the D string to an Eb on the A string, then to Ab on the D string to Bb on the G string? A G5 chord symbol over a Ab5 in the notation and tab? A5 labeling a Bb5? What!? Plus, this should be notated in A, with instructions to tune down 1/2 step! Take the fourth bar of "Trademark"-E should be on the second fret, not the third. How do you play B on the second fret, then magically switch to the seventh fret while still holding the note?! You get the idea-this reminds me of the "authentic" Hendrix transcriptions, which are as equally screwed up. Think twice before wasting your money on this!

This book is an adequate representation of Dylan material, with many songs missing that one might want (forcing the purchase of a second book).

I didn't like this book for several reasons:
1. When I was first learning guitar, I purchased it and was dissapointed by Dylan's complex chord phrasings. I couldn't play them, and at the level of a beginner, there were only a few songs that I could play.

2. As I got better, I yearned to learn how to play the songs like Dylan played them. As this book was written primarily for piano and vocal, it only has the guitar chords, and many of his songs contain wonderfully complex fingerpicking patterns and arpegios. Once I got to the level of playing where I could play the chords appropriately, I wanted more than this book could give. I pulled it off the shelf recently to play a few of the oldies that I remembered from many years ago, but put it back quickly for the same reason.

3. The book has a standard binding, so if you want to lay it reasonably flat on your music stand or piano, you will have to split the spine.

This is a wonderful songbook as a companion to the album "Under the Red Sky". The songs pic up where the travelling wilburys left off. Dylan is clearly having fun here. And the songs are as much fun to play as they are to listen to.
