Title: A Disappointment
Review: One would assume that the reason most people buy Paul Simon music is because they like the music he plays as he plays it, not arrangements that merely borrow Simon melodies and lyrics, or at best, approximate his fingerpicking patterns. Alas, if you buy "Paul Simon Greatest Hits Songtab Edition" you're not going to get anything close to authentic transcriptions on most of the included songs. The arrangements in this book are often quite nice in and of themselves, but considered as transcriptions, most of them would rate from mediocre to poor. While this book might appeal to someone seeking simplified fingerstyle arrangements of Paul Simon songs, for the intermediate to advanced guitarist seeking genuine recorded-version transcriptions, this book can only be something of a disappointment.
