Megadeth - Selections from Peace Sells...But Who's Buying? and So Far, So Good...So What! * Reviews:
Use with discretion 
2009-02-02 - I got this book because I have the utmost respect for Mustaine and anyone who's ever played with Megadeth, and if my band ever covers them, I want to NAIL the solos note-perfect. That being said, I believe the solos are transcribed quite well. The riffs, however, are a little dodgy. So far, I've gone through Peace Sells, which has pretty decipherable riffs and chords to begin with, but I've noticed a few errors that are pretty obvious. I would suggest use this book as a guideline, but not verbatim. Also, the book leaves out the fact that these songs are tuned down about 1/4 step from A440.
Great Songs - Bad Transcription 
2005-08-16 - Megadeth is a fantastic band and the songs included in this book are all great songs however, these are some of the worst transcriptions to the songs I've ever seen. I can figure them out better myself with a banjo and earplugs!. The book would honestly only be any good for getting the very basic chords to the songs. If you are an average player or better, don't bother with this book.
You'll be thrashing all night long! 
2005-01-13 - These are very catchy songs that are fun to play. If you are good at playing guitar, then be sure to get this. All the songs are awesome and sound just like the recording. I play these songs often and it helps me develope playing techniques.
This is a guitar tablature book (no text).
2000-04-15 - Based on the other review on amazon.com of this book, I bought it. The review said: "This book is an awesome source for an incredibly interesting historical look at a couple of Megadeth's greatist albums! It includes facts that lay behind the recording session". <---this is NOT true!
If you play guitar, this is an AWESOME book, as it is ALL tablatures for the 2 albums. There is NO text & certainly NO history or "facts behind the recording sessions".
...now I wish I DID play guitar. Dave Mustaine is an awesome musician.
