I am a big fan of PF and David Gilmour, and picked up this item with the intention of learning some of the guitar parts to the songs on this classic album. Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed with the way this book is done. Unlike most other guitar tab books I have, it provides minimal information: just basic chords and the main guitar parts, but without the detail and additional guitar parts that one would might want to know. Also, "The Great Gig in the Sky" -- probably my favourite track on the whole album -- is completely missing!!!There is a play-along CD, with a recorded version of the music without the guitar parts, so you can play along. That's hardly a big selling point, I think. Although this might be suitable for guitarists who are just beginning to play, I would recommend that everyone take a look instead at the version by Music Sales Corporation, also available at Amazon, entitled "Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon: Guitar Tablature Edition." I have their version of "Wish You Were Here" and it is much, much better. It comes with photos, an interview, and all the guitar parts (multiple tab when more than 1 guitar is playing) and just more musical detail. I'm very happy with their versions, but not with this. Even if you're a beginner, eventually you're going to want more, and you'll end up getting the better edition anyway. So unless you really want the play along CD (and who wouldn't rather just play along to the actual CD?) go for that one.Happy guitar playing!
