Book Reviews of Mel Bay Endless Road - Tommy Emmanuel
Book Review: Review
Summary: 5 Stars
Endless Road is a brilliant book containing Tommy Emmanuel's music from the album `Endless road'. It contains very accurate transcriptions (with fingering suggestions) written in TAB and standard notation (for nearly all songs on the album) and also includes useful text before each song to advise the player on playing style, difficult phrases, capo position and song context. Chord shapes are also shown in this book and can prove useful in working out some of Tommy's more advanced fingerings. It also briefly discusses the cascading harmonics technique used in `Somewhere over the rainbow' and has a full transcription.
The only thing it doesn't mention is about Tommy's tuning tension - often he tunes slightly sharp (445 Hz) which is why you will find it hard to play along to the album. However, if you have a decent tuner or a good ear - this isn't a problem.
Be warned though - this book contains some very advanced finger style (`Son of a gun' and `Somewhere over the rainbow') + flat picking - definitely not for beginners or novices. If you are a novice finger style player I would recommend his other book (Only) as the songs are far simpler (although still challenging).
I guarantee that you will need the album to work through this book!
