   a fine piece of work for the james taylor fan…BUT …how can anyone call a book complete…when it isn’t???? There is NOTHING complete about this. My lesson…don’t believe anything the marketing gurus set before you!!! If it says complete….it’s probably only the beginning fragment of a potential scam. if it says final…don’t bet on it! there is more than likely a sequel waiting to be mass marketed next winter shopping season!

   Joni has an ingenious, unique way of tuning and picking her guitar. All other guitar books of Joni’s songs I have found are in standard tuning so I could never accurately capture Joni’s sound using them which was very frustrating. The Joni Mitchell Complete Guitar Songbook is the first book to provide the means to play Joni’s songs as heard on her albums. It is truly an enlightening resource. Her songs roll off the guitar like magic when the tuning is correct.

   I recommend this book as an invaluable resource for those who love Joni songs and want to delve deeper into them by playing them in her unique way. When I use this book, I experience the feeling of treading the same ground as the master guitarist herself walks on the guitar.

   The book also contains a chart so one can easily find which songs are played in a particular tuning. It is pure fun! I hope it becomes available again soon.

   Joel Bernstein did not finish this songbook, it went to printing without 2 of the albums being transcribed, and essays he intended are also missing. Hopefully the publisher will correct these problems. As it is, there is still alot of valuble info on Joni’s guitar tunings and arrangements, but the transcriptions for “Hejira” and “Taming The Tiger” are wrong-there may be other errors, too.

   The music, lyrics, and guitar chord diagrams, for almost 70 songs. Although I do not own all the albums, the book appears to contain all the songs from the albums “James Taylor” “Sweet Baby James” “Mud Slide Jim” “Gorilla” “One Man Dog” and “Walking Man.” A must-own for the JT fan.

   I was disappointed. More at what was not in the book than what was in it. This book only covers a few of his many albums. I have no complaints about the music that is in there but I had higher expectations when it said JT complete. I missed the “Vol. 1″ hidden down by the ISBN #. Which is my own fault. This is Not James Taylor Complete. This is James Taylor Vol. #1!
