-This Guitar TAB Book Sells For $700? Learn guitar from me at: www.the-art-of-... Art of Guitar T-shirts: my-store-11499... Facebook: / fansoftheartofguitar / theartofguitar Thanks!!!
Hey Mike, big fan of the channel. I love seeing the bad tab books you do and I wanted to share you one that I own of my favorite band of all time, Alice in Chains. Now, I am pretty sure I have all of them as I have the ones for Facelift, Dirt, Sap & Jar of Flies (which are booked together), Self Titled, and the Nothing Safe Greatist Hits album. Now, the one for Dirt has some huge wtf errors that are baffling, and I think you'd get a kick out of seeing them. For example, the ending of "Would?" You get this big D5 shape (Db since it's tuned a half step down) and then it goes into a 7#9 chord. It leaves that out and makes it just a D major chord. The same 7#9 is also used as the final part with the final lyrics "If I would, could you?" Part, but, it has it listed as these weird F chords that make no sense at all. Sickman also has a glaring error at the bridge part where it slows down and Jerry is playing these softer arpeggios. There is a part where there is supposed to be a F# major played (Again it'd be F since half step down) But, they accidentally made it and Fmajor#4 chord, having the Tritone in it, likely a misprint There is even spelling mistakes where on Down in a Hole, they label the Acoustic guitar as "Acaustic"
$700?! Too bad I don't have this book but I do have quite a few old tab books. I should check to see if any of them are going for that kind of money. But yeah, this album was one of the 2 first CD's I owned. Such a great album. No surprise though that the tab book is bad. Oh and nice Buffy logo on your SG!
Mike, great series. Tab books are fun to collect. Had Duff McKagans first album Believe in me on tab. It’s going for $500 or something obscene. Could you do something on GNR tabs?
I have always assumed the bass parts are there so bass players can use the guitar tab to learn too. And they would add the "standout" bass parts in the tab like you see. Also I would love you to check out some Slayer tabs. Because I think "Seasons in the Abyss" was one of the best tab books around and I'm sure most Slayer tabs were fairly correct.
I've been having my own bad tab battle trying to learn Rock 'n' Roll Singer (AC/DC) because I couldn't find a readable and correct tab for the lead (Angus') part. They aren't impossibly wrong like these tab books, but still annoying for someone who isn't good at transcribing. I'm still missing the start of the outro solo because it's fast and too low in the mix for my bad ears to work out, but at least the solos now sound like an attempt to match them.
That's one expensive tab book! I saw that there is a tab book for the Crow soundtrack, maybe if the tabs are bad enough you can do one of these videos for it! lol
Bad tab books taught me three things: 1) With enough persistency one may learn some of those strangely tabbed out parts and have increased capability as a player. 2) Don't trust everything you read in print 3) Musicians writing notation were (are?) not usually metalheads and/or did not understand the significance of tab for less schooled players.
Really shows how one guitarist/songwriter affects the band and its future. All the killer riffing and energy had them destined for the thrash elite. No Bobby G and relegated to a cult following of in comparison 1000 people.
@@rhoadsvnivekthey fired the wrong Bobby. Ellsworth has alienated thousands with his hysterical vocals where Gustafson brought in thousands with his riffing and soloing, now in the fullness of time, it's blindingly obvious.
I made a fair chunk of change in the early to mid 2000s finding and reselling old guitar tablature books from the 80s and early 90s. This was in Amazon’s infancy and I could find them on Amazon, AbeBooks and other book selling sites for 10-30 bucks and flip them for 100s. In 2005-2006 I bought out a shit ton of them from Willis Music’s Cincinnati warehouse. They aren’t as easy to find now I wish I still had access to that hustle.
Always great to see another bad tab upload. I love this series the most. I think I rewatched the metallica tab videos like 20 times at this point 😅
Wow thank you so much!!! Glad you like the series. It’s one of my favorites to make as well.
YES!! I love this series. Never would have guessed the mystery book was OVER KILL!!! So stoked to watch this.
If ever interested, Mike...I have the tab books for the first 2 Faster Pussycat albums. Not sure if it's 'bad tab'...but you're welcome to borrow
Had the first one and learned some really kool basic R&R techniques.
Bobby Gustafson, the guitarist from this album, needs to see this and confirm or correct what you figured out.
I'd be freakin' honored!
He probably hasn't played these songs in over 30 years bro, could he remember?!
Hidden gem on this one is Who Tends the Fire
Yes a new bad tab video to start the holiday break? Hell yes. Rock on and have a happy holiday.
Tab books are wildly expensive, I've seen Testament books listed for thousands!
BRO I HAVE THAT VINTAGE TAB BOOK I GOT IT FOR 30 BUCKS!
Overkill!!!!! ????? I guess because the tab book is rare and out of print!!!! But $700!!!!!

Hehe. I think I have that book. I'll check it out, thanks. :)
My favourite overkill album! I think you should try and write a song incorporating all the weird, incorrect techniques in these old tab books.
Great video Mike. Enjoy your creativity burst btw.
I have my savatage tab book feom back then. You should search that one out
damn ima gonna have to dig up my old tab books and trow em on ebey

Maybe your Bad Tab video series has created a huge demand for these books causing the higher prices. Lol

Carcass - Best of Bandscore (published in Japan) always sells for zillions on eBay. I’ve been on a lookout for years hoping for a decent price.

I got that book and the bass tab book too....got poster too!
SKULL CRUSHER!
I have that Overkill Tab book as well as 2 others of theirs. 🤘😎🤘
A lot of the early thrash tab books are rare and expensive now.
Recommend abebooks over EBay for this stuff. They tend to have more realistic prices
Been curious how accurate the Necrophagist - Epitaph tablature book is. It only pops up on ebay once in a blue moon and it goes for $100+.
Should do a expensive tab book series now :)
Rushes off to check the value of all my original '80's thrash tab books.
No, none were worth more than £20....😢
Check out the damage plan tab book
Those full barre chords sounded like Gary Hoey
One of the greatest, excuse my ignorance, even Steve Vai's best won't pair. Namastè.
Considering you’ve been waiting a while without that 700$ listing selling, it should be “this book is not selling at $700?”

Overkill destroyed anthrax
@@TheDistortionPrincipleeven Jackyl destroyed anthrax bro!
Exactly! There wasn't 2 guitarists until the next album after Bobby got fired. And, the band was never the same...

Flagner is the best getoor epheckt
The tab book for Taking Over is just as pricey.
Dang, I was sitting on $700 and after this video it prob won't even fetch 7 bucks lol
I've seen a Ramones tab book go for $1000
The only Overkill I know is by Men at Work. 😂
Overkill should make a song called Men at Work just to balance the universe out.
The rumor was true!
the years of decaaay
what happened to your thumb?
Horrible blister from drumming. It's been messing with me for a long time, might have to go postal on it. :(
@ man sorry to hear :( great video though as always

Oh. I'm early this time 🙂
😂
It’s being bought as a collectible, not to be used.
Well it sure as hell ain't worth $700 or even $500, that's for sure.. 😅
first
Do you feel special?
"or maybe they put their weed in it"
Reminds me of this SNL skit LMAO
