DSOM Piano-Vocal-Guitar Book Question

Hello, I'm new here but I am a big Pink Floyd fan.

I have been playing guitar for 2-3 years or so but have never purchased a book like this before. It is the Dark side of the moon Piano-Voice-Guitar book. Copyright 1973 I glanced at this book and saw the notation instead of tab so I picked it up to work on my sight reading skills (as they are lacking with my finger coordination on the fretboard but I used to play Violin for 4 years previously). Anywho, this book is a bit confusing to me because sometimes in a song there is two Treble cleffs and one bass cleff. Above them is usually a guitar Chord, just one listed before the next one which is usually a few measures down.

My question is, does this book only list guitar chords and not guitar solo's (I'm not skilled enough to identify this) and riffs. I identified the Great Gig In The Sky first Treble section as the opening piano just by listening to the rhythm and reading along but cannot decypher anything for guitar. I cannot return the book now but it was cheap (10 bucks) so should I just try and find the DSOM TABLATURE for guitar because this book is quite confusing. I was sort of rushed when I bought it as I was excited and occupied at once. The book is also confusing as it does not have any music for On The Run in its own section or Any Colour You Like.

Thanks for the help!

Re: DSOM Piano-Vocal-Guitar Book Question

Ok, here's the deal. It's not the actual guitar part. The upper treble cleff is the melody of the vocals. The bottom treble and bass cleffs are the actual piano parts. Those kind of books aren't good for the real part. A lot of it is kind of made up. But if you play the upper treble cleff on guitar, it will just be what Roger is singing. Got it? My sister works at a sheet music store so if you have any more questions just ask me. And welcome to the site!
