Malmsteen Tab... most accurate?

In your opinion what tabs books are most accurate? Any books stand out?

Thanks

I have the Rising Force tab book. The notes are very accurate but the fingerings are a little iffy. You have to change some fingerings to single string or “Yngwie-fy” some 3 note per string passages if you want to play them like he does. Nothing too difficult to switch around.

Yeah I have that book, and it is pretty accurate. … Wolf Marshall… just have to adapt the CTC Volcano to them!

From my experience this is the problem with most tab books. The pitches tend to be spot on. Aside from those so bad they must be a joke like Megadeth’s Rust in Peace and Judas Priest’s Painkiller.

Have you by any chance seen the And Justice For All tab book? if so, how accurate do you think the transcription of the main riff of “Blackened” is? I think that’s Metallica’s toughest song to play, although I haven’t tried to learn a cover song since somewhere around the mid 90s.

The AJFA has a famously controversial rendering of the Dyer’s Eve verse riff so I don’t know how well it fares in other areas.
