Music
Review:This book puts you inside Steven Tyler's head like you wouldn't believe. From early childhood on. I've always loved the musician, now I am totally impressed with the man. What a life he led. What a mind! Read more
Review:Honestly, if you're interested in this book, don't waste your money - check it out at your local public library instead. As a fan of Stevie's (and Fleetwood Mac itself) for nearly 4 decades, I expected far better from Stephen Davis than this waste of ink and paper, particularly considering that he collaborated with Mick Fleetwood on his autobiography way back in 1990 (which caused quite a stir with the controversial allegation that Lindsey Buckingham physically assaulted Stevie, which Davis goes...

Review:I thought it was interesting. I admire the ambition and drive of Rod Stewart. I thought the book was well written. Probably much more enjoyable to people who like football ( soccer). I would recommend it to people who like biographies of successful people. Read more
Review:Written in first person, Anthony shares his life story through colorful antidotes that will have you rolling from laughter and also pain. Drug addition is an ugly journey, and I have a greater appreciation for someone going through it. Anthony is a great writer, easy to read, I'm sad the book is over! Read more
Review:This was
Surprisingly good but predictable and not a lot we didn't know. Glad he did it and it was interesting enough to keep me reading it. Wish it went beyond Anti-Christ Superstar though. Was never a huge fan but a fan just the same Read more
Review:For Beatles fans, Doggett's book follows the Fab Four from their break up in 1969 to the present day.

Also, Doggett goes back and for... Read more
Review:I was looking for something more serious than the typical "how to change your strings" book designed for players.
This one is a must. I do all my own set-ups and adjustments and this book covers all the bases, even beyond what you might feel doing yourself, such a re-setting a neck. Never condescending and very clearly written.

Review:There were some good points and helpful but overall Ms Cap's style of teaching did not mesh for me. I found the book a little confusing. Same with her videos. I know I am in the minority . I have played bass for over 20 years so please dont comment and bash me for this opinion But as an overall resource I will keep the book for the tips I can glean from it. Read more
Review:Beautiful is a good word for these songs. They keep the melody dominant in the solo so you don't have to go looking for it. A variety of levels so it's good for many different people and different circumstances. Read more
Review:I have enjoyed using this method for learning guitar. It would be best to have a teacher, however I don't have the schedule to allow learning at a set time. With Alfred's books I have been able to slowly but surely progress on my own. Read more
