Jeff Buckley Collection

Seems accurate with a good collection of songs. I don’t know why they chose some odd, generally not great songs from sweetheart.. but didn’t include lilac wine or forget her. Anyways, I seriously enjoy this. It’s all easy to read and solid.

After spending two years trying to figure them out by ear and using the few poorly done transcriptions on the internet, Jeff is finally paid his due with a very complete set of transcriptions of his music. It always amazes me how simple it is to play something that was impossible to figure out by ear. Also, because Jeff had a tendency toward alternate tunings, this book is a big eye-opener. A must have for Jeff Buckley fans. It also has the most accurate lyrics I've found so far as well.

Good tabs, and it's nice to see an attempt at a complete collection, but not great. Maybe it needs a bit more explanation to get a foothold, maybe he's just that difficult to figure out, but I've had more mileage figuring out Buckley's songs on my own or from online tabs than from this collection. In many (most?) cases there are more natural fingerings and shapes to pull off his songs than those found here, especially in the open tunings.

Good selection of songs, easy to read. This one also has the whole of grace written with "the parts where he goes "oooooh.."" with the real chords used for the song. A major plus.

One can only hope to capture some of his essence... Great.

For anyone who loves Jeff Buckley and would like to play some of his pieces, this is a must have selection.

I got this book because I wanted a physical copy of expert transcriptions of my hero's works. On one level, I had hoped that it would include all of the Grace album as well as assorted other tracks. On the second point, it succeeds in spades; not so much is it accurate on the first count.While it has most of his best-known songs ("Last Goodbye," "Grace," "Mojo Pin") and best songs ("Lover, You Should Have Come Over," "Morning Theft"), there's nothing for "Hallelujah." Most people can figure that song out on their own, but its omission puzzled me. Also, it would have been nice to have the melodica intro to "Lover, You Should Have Come Over" instead of just the guitar parts.Even with those little snafus, it's an excellent source for playing Mr. Buckley's songs. It beats printing out tabs online, plus you can use the musical notation for practice if you're not familiar with it or are otherwise too lazy to learn.

Good fun- learning to play along with cds
