A classic album.......2007-08-29

There are not a lot of albums I would buy, but this is one that I did. As far as I'm concerned this album rates among the all-time classic (pop?)rock albums. It's rates to be there along with other classic albums, such as the Beatles White album, or Neil Diamond's Hot August Night. What else can I say?

Good Transcriptions.......2003-07-29

Very good note for note transcriptions of the songs.

To the person who couldn't get boxer to match : The book says no capo required. This is misleading. The recording is tuned one step lower than standard tuning. So you need a capo at the -2 fret :) If you want to match the recording, you will have to retune. The publisher assumed most people wouldnt want to do that, so they just said no capo required.

Excellent for beginners........2001-08-02

This is an excellent book for beginners, I just got it and I'm already enjoying it. If you play the Acoustic guitar and you're not an expert that you can play songs and write notes only by listening to them - this book is for you. Bridge Over Troubled Water and Mrs. Robinson are only 2 of the great hits you'll find in this book. Here is the list of songs: America, Bookends, Bridge Over Troubled Waters, Cecilia, El Condor Pass, For Emily, Whenever I Might Find Her, Homeward Bound, I Am A Rock, Kathy's Song, Mrs. Robinson, Scarborough Fair/Canticle, The Boxer
The 59th Street Bridge Street Song (Feelin' Groovy), The Sounds Of Silence. Enjoy!

Good for beginners but not perfect.......2000-02-13

Songs within are Bridge Over Troubled Water, Mrs. Robinson, the Sounds of Silence, The Boxer, The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy), Scarborough Fair - Canticle, I Am a Rock, Kathy's Song, Cecillia, America, Bookends, Homeward Bound, El Condor Pasa, For Emily Whenever I May Find Her.

There are words with each song. Songs match the CD with the same title and cover picture. Except I can't get the Boxer to match the one on the CD.

Product Description

Learn to play acoustic guitar to all of Paul Simon?s greatest hits of yesterday and today. Includes You Can Call Me Al, Homeward Bound, and numerous other favorites.

EXCELLENT = ACCURATE TRANSCRIPTION.......2007-08-06

Paul Simon's style can be difficult to get down on your own but this book and the accompanying CD are an EXCELLENT description of Paul Simon's solo classics. The accompanying CD allows you to hear how the guitar part SHOULD sound. Practicing the accurate tab will get you up to speed in no time. MOST highly recommended by a guitar player with 40 years experience.

a real insight in Paul Simon's playing.......2003-07-28

This book/cd combination is excellent!! What you get is a 44 page book with six of Simon's solo songs (50 Ways to Leave Your Lover, Kodachrome, Me and Julio, Peace Like a River, Something so Right, and Take Me to the Mardi Gras). The book includes both standard and tabbed notation. The transciptions are excellent and note perfect. The cd includes two performances of each song "karoake" style (backing tracks only). On the first performance all the instruments in the backing are included, and on the second the guitar has been removed so you can play along. My only complaint is that I wish the second performance had featured only the guitar so you could study the nuances more closely. That, however, is only a niggle and doesn't detract from this otherwise excellent study. Very highly recommended.

A Disappointment.......2004-05-13

One would assume that the reason most people buy Paul Simon music is because they like the music he plays as he plays it, not arrangements that merely borrow Simon melodies and lyrics, or at best, approximate his fingerpicking patterns. Alas, if you buy "Paul Simon Greatest Hits Songtab Edition" you're not going to get anything close to authentic transcriptions on most of the included songs. The arrangements in this book are often quite nice in and of themselves, but considered as transcriptions, most of them would rate from mediocre to poor. While this book might appeal to someone seeking simplified fingerstyle arrangements of Paul Simon songs, for the intermediate to advanced guitarist seeking genuine recorded-version transcriptions, this book can only be something of a disappointment.

solid "in the bag" guide.......2007-03-16

just picking up the sport? dont trust yer friend, no matter how long he's been playing. You need to learn a good grip, a good stance, and shot selection that is right for you. This book helped me get started after my good friend, who is a serious player (and money winner) tried to just show me. His discs and windup were killing me. after ONE read i tried out some standard practices and was throwing consistantly. This is a great book to have if you want to keep rules handy and see guides on foot placement and grip etc. there are some fluffy parts that you can ignore, but they are to flesh out what could be a solid 10 pages. its worth the money.

AWESOME!!!.......2007-02-21

I got this for my dad for Christmas. He said he has looked everywhere for a book on Disc Golf and was unable to find one. He LOVES this one. He said it is filled with quick, easy tips and info.
Thanks!!!

Handy pocket primer.......2005-06-23

This is a compact little book that covers everything you need to know about disc golf, including disc selection, throwing tips and techniques, course etiquette, and more. Also it includes information about disc golf organizations, characteristics of individual disc brands, and even a chapter on the "zen of disc golf." It's a fast read but is full of information. It's worth buying just for the chapters on disc grips and throws for all types of situations. Carry it along with you and improve your game.

Customer Reviews:

Could be better. But, a lot of good information. .......2006-08-17

Don't get me wrong, between ExamCram2, Cisco, and Sybex, this was my favorite book. It is unfortunate that there really is no good one choice for studying for the BCRAN and, though opinions vary, I found it to be the hardest of the three tests I have thus far taken.

The Sybex book is organized in a strange fashion which I found to be a bit confusing. I read it once, and rarely picked it up again. While browsing through it just now, on the top of page 95 I read "config title." Title?! Sybex's chapter on VPN was absolutely horrible. However, having said that, there were a couple things I liked in the Sybex book, such as the tendency to (sometimes) include complete configurations shown from start to finish.

Cisco's book was full of good and useless information. A portion of the book was spent on useless things such as choosing WAN equipment. Though very useful in the field, this information is completely worthless on the test; there are other Cisco books published for this purpose. This book claims to be an "Exam certification guide" hence it should cover what is on the test, not what the author thinks a CCNP should know. I also found the author's unneeded discussion of the 700 series commands to be annoying. The author also tended to get a little too deep into theory which, although interesting, is not on the test.

The EC2 book was my favorite and I found myself referring to it more and more as exam grew near. I could not understand how to configure VPN till I looked at EC2. It gets right to the point, it tells you how it works, shows you how to configure it, and moves on. Skimming and reviewing this book is very easy due to careful organization. Nevertheless, I could have given this book a higher rating if it weren't for the errors (which I have tried to report with no success).

Let's name a few mistakes just for fun. Pg. 208, bottom, second to last sentence only, should say "never DEactivate the line." Pg. 73, question #6, no, chap never sends the password in clear text. (or at all, it sends a HASH) Perhaps there is an undocumented feature but, if so, who cares? We'd use Pap. Pg. 114, I don't care if you are right or wrong, Cisco always refers to the D channel as 16kbs framing and signaling. Remember, on the exam, the right answer is ALWAYS the Cisco answer. 233, CBWFQ, Bit bucket?! Refer to Cisco for a better explanation of CBWFQ. Page 124, HUGE MISTAKE - dialer load-threshold is a NOT a percentage, it's 1-255. Another huge mistake, page 146, dialer pools, the correct command is dialer pool-member 1, not dialer pool 1. Pg. 214 - OSPF does NOT do unequal load balancing!! Do not mess with the metrics to make a 128 isdn think it is 10bt. If you can't tell me why equal load balancing between ISDN and Ethernet is bad, you need to retake the CCNA. Page 122, dialer-map is an INTERFACE command. Also, why are they talking about dialer-group under dialer-map? Dialer-group should have been talked about on the previous page under interesting traffic.

I am sure I could find mistakes in the other two books as well if I had studied them harder. (I found about as many mistakes in Cisco's BSCI book, not including the ones noted by Cisco in the errata) It is a shame that there is no one good book one can review to pass this particular test. My advice would be to buy all three, or at least EC2 and Cisco. To say thanks for reading my long review, I will give you one last gem. On Cisco's site, one can find the "Career Certification Paths" which give a pitiful list of topics that will be on the test. I wish I could tell you that if it isn't on the list, it isn't on the test. But, that simply isn't true. However, if it is on the list, it is almost certainly on the test - no matter what any book says. A simple review showed me that WRED, RFC 1483/2684 bridging (hint - in relation to dsl), and dialer watch were not explained in any of the three books! Google them. As this list is changed without notice, I would highly advise reviewing it yourself. Good luck.

A good book to study for the BCRAN Exam.......2007-01-06

The book is very informative and definitely worth reading page to page for not only does it give information relevant to the BCRAN exam but also other valuable information which will help the Cisco Professional gain more knowledge in relevant products and technologies and be better in their work. This is a must-have book, part of the Cisco Professional's collector items.

Excellent Book to prop the old desk up!!!!.......2006-03-03

This book has so many errors, and missed topics its not worth your time purchasing this book. I used the BCRAN Student Guide instead to pass this test.

Cisco's worst, Editor MIA?.......2006-01-15

I think, for this title, Cisco put 1000 monkeys in a room with 1000 typewriters for a couple of years and then published the results. Of course they made sure it wasn't Shakespeare first, to avoid those pesky accusations of plagiarism...which seems to be the extent of their editing on this title. The most glaring error is the author's repeated insistence that in public key cryptography one provides their private key to the public so information can be encrypted, then the destination party uses the public key to decrypt the information. WHAT!?! Please, please do not do that! C'mon Cisco...even Microsoft got this one right. At one point later on the author seems to demonstrate the process correctly. I imagine he got encryption confused with digital signatures. Ok, fine, but WHERE WAS THE EDITOR!? There are countless other places in the book where the author contradicts himself, and other places he's just dead wrong. Fortunately I have enough experience to spot some of these, but I'm sure not all, since I am obviously still learning. I don't trust the author enough now to believe that he's telling me the truth. This is the worst Cisco Press book I've gotten ahold of yet. This is the last test I have to take for the CCNP and I imagine I'll pass, but it won't be due to this book. Even the CIT book by Ranjbar was better than this. While his didn't really reflect what's on the exam, at least it was very well written. If you can get your hands on the Student Guide for the BCRAN, use that instead and UniverCD on Cisco's site to polish up the rough spots. Rotsa ruck!

A Cisco disappointment.......2005-09-03

I was extremely disappointed in this text. I have read several Cisco Press books in the past to prepare for certification exams, and have always been reasonably satisfied. Not so here.

The most frustrating aspect of the book is its dissimilarity with the actual exam. The questions in the book and in the CD are almost exclusively about nitpicky factoids (default timer settings, maximum data rates, etc.) DO NOT BOTHER TO MEMORIZE THESE. Instead, the exam focuses on really understanding the router commands and debug outputs... two topics which the book is very weak on. There were also many, many questions which were not covered in the book.

First off, the subject matter within the BCRAN book is presented in a very conversational and meandering fashion. For example, a command or concept is often mentioned several times in the text before it is explained in the text - if it is ever explained at all. Utterly frustrating.

There are also several sections of the book that are criminally unclear and confusing. I re-read the CHAP section 4-5 times before giving up. I found a CHAP document on the Cisco web site, skimmed it, and immediate understood it perfectly.

Most commands are not well documented in the text, which is a sad contrast to other Cisco Press books. Commands are frequently demonstrated via a single, specific example and without the technical format which explains which portions are fixed, which are optional, which are variable, etc. This book also lacks a reiteration of commands during the foundation summary of each chapter.

I took the test yesterday having used only this book as a study guide. I failed with a heartbreaking 786 (790 to pass.) I have never failed a certification exam before.

You should seriously consider purchasing much cheaper books from other sources.

Well written and understandable..depth questionable........2005-08-17

Well written, and very understandable. Too bad the author most likely would not have passed the current test on his first try. Now, I too, as others resort to the Cisco Academy CCNP 1-4 series. Otherwise it looks as if the braindump dam is busting open out of frustration out there. After reading every page of both this and the Sybex publication, one can not seriously hope to pass first time. Another brutalizing exam with a relatively ineffectual arsenal of study materials. Visions of Zell Miller!!

Good, but you still need another study guide.......2002-06-07

I really want to say that this is a good book for you to learn Remote Access for the CCNP exam. However, it is not the book that you use to prepare for the CCNP exam. I prefer Cisco Press or Sybex.

Good(1): I liked the fact that the user setup a scenario and walk the readers through each chapters. I easy to understand and fun to read the book.
Good(2): The author has included a lot of information that is good to know, even if it's not covered on the exam, but as a professional, you should know about it.

Bad(1): No CD or practice exam come with the book.
Bad(2): The questions seems to be easier than the one on the exams.
Bad(3): So many errors and typos, but if you can catch it, that means you understand the stuff.

I would like to keep this book as a reference, becasue I like the author's presentation style.
I would also recommend you to spend an hour in the local bookstore and read a chapter before you buy.

Don't bother.......2002-05-07

Book is out of date, filled with typos and inaccurate information. It appears as if it was written in a hurry.

Questions are rather subjective and not the same as the test.

Myhre has once again proven is expertise with Cisco........2002-02-10

As I have been working to obtain several certification including CCNP I have found that material covering the Remote Access exam has been to few and far between. That's why I was very happy to obtain this book and begin to read and learn how remote access works within the Cisco world.

The book is together in a straight forward and concise manner, as you'll find there are only 400 pages in the complete text, and you'll find that the complete set of exam objectives has been met and covered.

Beginning with WAN and WAN communications basics and then onto the modem and the configuration process, you then work with setting up and configuring the remote access at a central site. From there you are given coverage of the PPP, its use and functions.

The book shows you how to configure and setup ISDN connections, PRI and BRI and make the DDR work. Working with Cisco 700 series routers, SOHO, X.25 and Frame relay are the next set of topics to be dealt with.

Rounding out the text is the use of backup with ISDN lines and the configuration of NAT, followed up with authentication, authorization and accounting. The book has over 200 practice question spread out throughout each chapter. I think that a cd with practice tests and questions would be a nice enhancement but will not detract from the book.

Overall everything seems to be in this manual and looking at what is covered I think the 640-505 exam has been covered completely.
