What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Printed book
No audio, backing tracks, or downloads come with it. You supply the tempo and the band.
Detail 03
Funk, Soul, and R&B focus
Arrangements center on groove and comping patterns, so left-hand and rhythmic feel matter more than melody reading.
Detail 04
Single-volume collection
A fixed set of arrangements. You cannot pick individual songs the way you can with sheet downloads.
Final check
Know before you order

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can a guitarist use this book alone?
Only partly. Guitar appears as chord symbols above the staff, not as tab or written guitar parts. A guitarist can strum along but will not find arranged guitar lines.
02Does it include audio or backing tracks?
No. It is a printed book with no accompanying audio or download.
03Do I need to read music?
Yes for the piano and vocal parts, which are in standard notation. Chord symbols alone are not enough to play the arrangements.
04Is this for beginners?
It assumes you can already read notation and play two-handed piano. A first-year student will find the funk and R&B rhythms difficult.
