The Doobie Brothers - Guitar Play-Along Vol. 172 (Hal-Leonard Guitar Play-Along, 172)

I'm giving all low ratings to warn buyers about the new & improved "Online Access Crap"Okay here's the deal. Would be 5 stars, I Love these Play Along (BUT), I hate the new & improved (Online Access Crap!) Yep I bought one of those too! NOTE: however I bought this I think 2 yrs. ago with CD & am just now getting around to a review. I'm reading reviews now that they are selling some with the online play along crap. If that is the case please look at my review is a 1 star!So I warning you! I'd contact the seller if the CD is included. Maybe it won't matter to you or keep reading.I emailed talking with a company representative; he was saying we're going to this because that is what most people prefer. That's BS. Now they charge more give less.I agree with another reviewer "Times are a changing !" "where's the CD? "Boo on Hal Leonard for going cheap. This is a real deterrent for me buying any more of your book. I've purchased 13 others from them with CD. Times are a changing.I wanted one volume with the O.A. really bad and ended up purchasing it after giving it the 1 star rating. Only myself to blame.What you need to know about their new & improved online access (No CD with books anymore) IF YOU WANT TO USE THE SLOW DOWN TEMPO OR PITCH FEATURE you are forced to do your practice online. I always got kicked off if I needed a extra long break. Having to log back in re-enter my code # re-choose the song I had just been working on. Re-set up all tempo or pitch changes. All because as their representative had told me people prefer the new and improved online access. Also the tempo feature only offers 4 choice increments unlike the old which offered limitless options. True as the sales rep suggested you can down load the songs to your computer then copy them to CD or iPhone. But, unless you have a program that slows it down on your iPhone. Or with a program to copy it to your PC at a favorite slowed down speed; only 1 choice. Or of course own the full Tempo/ Pitch version (are you seeing where this is going?) Always less for more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$I am hoping all buyers of the new & improved online access BS. will speak out to this company. They took a good thing & then took it away! Boo on Hal Leonard!

Lots of fum to play along with. If you want exact transcrip then get the "Authentic Guitar tab edition" Doobie Brother, the guitar collection. This book is very close and the play along disk is worth the price alone!

I love this music book, easy to follow and has the hits I was looking for.

great CD/Music book could not find it anywhere... great price

Nice book with all your favorites. For one who doesn't know some cords and no knowledge of reading music I found it a little disappointing that there weren't any pictures of chords I didn't know. When looking them up couldn't find them so made the song more difficult to do. Next book I hope they consider putting those pictures in.

Close enough.

Good CD, Good tabs. Great book.

Great backing tracks and great selection. Shame my voice isn't as high as it used to be.

great book,great songs to play....and better rhythm playing...

Lo que esperaba de uno de los grupos favoritos
