Title: Very disappointed
Review: This book was a huge disappointment. I purchased the book based upon its description but it does not deliver what it promises. The author trashes the Roth era van halen at every opportunity while piling heaps of praise on Hagar. You would think he was writing a book about Hagar. There are a couple of interesting photos, but no new information for anyone that has followed van halen for any length of time. The cd of how to play like van halen is a complete joke. First of all, the tone stinks and does not sound like van halen of any era. Second, the riffs and licks are not challenging and certainly won't give you much insight into how to play like van halen. I have been playing guitar for over 20 years and this is one of the worst products I have ever wasted my money on. For anyone seriously trying to get a grasp on how to sound like Eddie I would recommend Curt Mitchell's dvds on Van Halen.
