Nice set of tunes, accurate transcriptions. Nice resource if you’re a fan of Stax/R&B music.

Of all the guitar tab books, why study Steve Cropper?Because he always cuts through the mix, with few overdubs or effects. Steve's chunky, middle-of-the-neck Tele sound is always present, allowing you to hear nuances in his playing, even on studio versions of songs.Because his playing is always tasteful- he weaves in and out of the lead singer's phrases, leaving plenty of space in the space on the arrangement, building anticipation. It's very subtle, and therefore helpful to have exact sheet music. He will show you when NOT to play!Because he played on incredible, all-time-classic recordings that are tons of fun to play along with.I subtracted one star because there are a few duds among the songs: In the Midnight Hour, Dreams to Remember, Lover's Prayer, and Mr. Pitiful are all fantastic songs to listen to, but the guitar parts are not interesting or complicated enough to merit sheet music. R&B guitar is all about the fills and the syncopated rhythms, and those songs are played straight. Compare them to Direct Me, Knock on Wood, or Ole Man Trouble, which are dig in, play a million times, live-in-the-backbeat kind of songs.

I like the guitar recorded versions of any books that re out there.They are the way to go to learn

I have been a fan of Steve Cropper for a long time. This book makes it a heck of a lot easier to follow his innovative guitar playing on just a handful of the hit songs that he had a huge hand in. CAN ANYONE SUGGEST A CD COLLECTION THAT CONTAINS ALL OF THE SONGS COVERED IN THE BOOK, if one exists. Thanks.

Excellent, note fer note baby...

Whiteman with soul. Book should have had a cd tutorial with it because some of Steve Cropper's fills for novice guitar players are difficult w/o being able to hear them first hand. Otherwise, the book was tops.

Love it!

Die Produktbeschreibung lautet "Songbook, CD, Grifftabelle", das Buch kommt jedoch ohne CD. Nach etwas Recherche habe ich herausgefunden, daß es wohl gar keine Ausgabe mit CD gibt. Zur Klarstellung: Ich brauche nicht die Originalsongs, die stehen seit Jahrzehnten im Schrank. Aber bei einer solchen Produktbeschreibung sollten die Gitarren-Parts in irgend einem Format dabei sein, meinetwegen auch online.Die Transkriptionen scheinen OK zu sein.

Ottimo supporto alla didattica

The font is so small you can't read it. Totally useless for TAB

Belles transcriptions d’un des maîtres de la Soul. Ce livre fait partie de mes préférés pour la réalisation de superbes chansons ‘à la Blues Brothers’

A nice book with some biographical detail.Lots of good examples of Mr Croppers simple yet highly effective style. get your Atlantic Record collection out and play along!
