Learn Eruption Step-By-Step At A Playable Speed for Intermediate Skill Level & Up
I just got this book and the break-down of "Eruption" by itself is worth the price of admission. The book comes with a code where you can go online and download the accompanying audio files. The songs are broken up into 4 or 5 pieces on the audio files to aid with learning particular sections. The pieces are played at both normal speed and at 1/2 to1/4 speed so that an intermediate can keep up. These transcriptions are the real deal and even "Eruption" is manageable at the slow-demo speed for most intermediate players. The only downside to this product is that whole songs with backing tracks are not offered like with other Hal Leonard PLay-Along series publications like Van Halen 1978-1984: Guitar Play-Along Volume 50 (Hal Leonard Guitar Play-Along) I originally subtracted 1 star for not have the full length backing tracks, but decided not to as the author of this product probably had no control over this aspect. You may wish to invest in a piece of music tempo software so that you can gradually increase the rpms of the tracks. I use Song Surgeon 4 (just google it) and I love it. There are also some cheaper alternatives that aren't quite as snazzy like Amazing Slowdowner.

A good guide to learn the licks of the master Ed
A good guide to learn the licks of the master Ed. Notes on each song give you the inside scoop on how to attack that section. It also includes the links to download both Full Band demos and slow demos to help you nail the tough stuff. Overall, a great guide to get you started on nailing Edward's music.

Excellent beginner tab book!
Absolutely outstanding! Easier to follow than many of my other tab books, and pretty comprehensive.

Great but with one flaw...
The tabs and tracks are EXTREMELY well put together. So why only 4 stars? Because they didn't include these tracks on a CD that came with the book, which should have been done for this price. I had to download the tracks and then make my own CD, which was a pain in the a$$.

Best tab book ever
Best tab book ever, it has detailed explanations of most parts of each song, as well as slo-mo audio tracks for the tricky solos.
