Are ALL songs missing the solos? Or is it just certain ones that are missing?
Pretty much all songs say “ad lib solo”.
Garbage, but I care more about the rhythm stuff. Hopefully they are close to correct.
if the way Alive is tabbed can be an indicator of the accuracy of the book (its incompleteness is already confirmed).. I can honestly already say: close to correct my ass.
if it is anything like the official Ten guitar tab book i will pass. i bought that tab book when it came out and it has errors all over the place.
yes, and that book has been updated though, look for Ten Updated Edition.. it's still not perfect (Deep has the wrong tuning) but it sure is better than the first old edition.
What a wasted opportunity. Never ever have I seen a tab book by a guitar-driven band, where all the solos have been "ad libbed".
Very disappointing. Cool book if your a PJ memorabilia collector or something, but for someone who actually plays guitar this would have been the ultimate resource. I have the book and I’m going to keep it but it is incomplete and arguably inaccurate in some areas.
Maybe they figured that they could do a volume 2 with only the solos to make more money. Doesn’t make sense the ad lib shit, like we’re skilled enough to replicate Mike’s work by ad libbing.

I’m not skilled enough even if I had the tab but it would be nice to have.
To me if Pearl Jam is going to sell this thing, the band members should have sat down with the folks who put this together and made sure that at least the rhthym sections are right. If it isn't right, or at lease close, than don't sell it and just send us a link to xyz tab site.
I was wondering cause a few days ago I looked and saw there was no more "release date has been postponed indefinitely" on the description. Sucks that Amazon is out of stock. Sucks about the solos, though honestly I'm just buying this for the chords/riffs to play on acoustic more than anything. Guess I'll add it to my Xmas list and hope it's still available in December!

I play bass in a PJ tribute band, so I just hope it will help on some specific places where there is some discussion on the exact cords As long as the bass parts itself are somewhat correct I'm happy. Our solo's are ad lib anyway since PJ seldom does the same thing twice when playing live, and we go for that live vibe :P
Book is great... Is it exactly the way Stone, Mike and Jeff play certain chords, etc? No... there are so many possibilities on a guitar to play the same note... what is does do is get you in the ballpark and helps get you through learning these songs... Wish there were solos but some of the important fills and intro mini solos (lightning bolt, pendulum, sirens, etc ) are there... all good.

so, if it's not perfect, for sure it's not great.. sorry, you are saying two opposite things here.. if I want to get in the ballpark I go to songsterr etc.. Most people can do that by themselves, because let's be honest, PJ songs are not really that hard to play.. a book of this type should be at least 99% accurate and complete, but it's about 50% complete, and maybe 70% accurate for the parts that are there.. that is not great and it is not all good.. it's shitty, plain and simple. Have you seen the way that section in Alive before the "Is something wrong She said.." part is tabbed?

Exactly what I am hoping for. Something to check a parts of songs with.
I've never been one who was able to replicate a solo off tab anyway, I find watching and listening get me there.

if serious: do you know what a guitar solo is?
This is not something to joke about!!!
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
What could the big delay have been about?
