Customer Rating: 
Summary: Very enjoyable! 2008-06-21
Comment: As some reviewers wrote, some transcriptions are not same as the recording. Regardless, this book is very enjoyable. Who doesn't enjoy playing George Winston's beautiful music? I think any player can enjoy this book because it is not very hard technically. I would have been even much happier if this book had included more blues, like "Miles City Train".

Summary: A little disappointed, but overall a fairly accurate transcription 2008-05-15
Comment: All the transcriptions have some errors if you read them and listen to the recording at the same time. Therefore, I only use the book to learn the basic melody of a song(eg Kanon) then I learn the song by listening to the recording. I've found that if you try to learn a song in this book note for note from the transcription, it is very difficult and there are bound to be several errors in transcription along the way which would throw you off. But all and all, it is a very good and helpful book. I would recommend it to anyone trying to learn GW.

Summary: Great music, and now my kids are playing it. 2008-01-07
Comment: I've loved me some GW for a long time. I've got two teenagers that asked for this book of sheet music for Christmas, and santa came through. I might have guessed that this music would be too tough for them to play, but both of them are playing their favorite pieces and sounding great. They told me that it's not as hard to play as you might think just listening to George play.
Very highly recommended by me (and my kids as well).

Summary: finally, George Winston sheet music 2007-12-15
Comment: U've waited years & years for this. I was a little disappointed at the selection of songs. I was looking for some of his Doors stuff, & O Mar, & Autumn, & Plains, etc. I also noticed that ol' George hired someone else to do these transcriptions. Nonetheless, since sheet music of his is rare, I recommend this book.
