AlfredJourney - Ultimate Guitar Play-Along Book & 2 CDs
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Journey guitar play-along with book and two CDs. For intermediate players who want backing tracks to practice full songs against.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Practicing full arrangements against a band instead of alone
- Learning Neal Schon parts with the guitar track soloed for reference
- Building timing and endurance by playing songs end to end
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Complete beginners still learning open chords
- Players who want only sheet music at a lower price
- Anyone without a CD drive or player to use the discs
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
Play-along format
You practice at fixed recorded tempo, which builds timing but gives no slow-down unless you rip the audio.
Detail 03
Ultimate Play-Along series
Written at full arrangement difficulty rather than simplified, so parts follow the recorded guitar closely.
Detail 04
$14.99 price
Cheaper than the easy anthology despite including audio, because it covers fewer songs.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01CDs need a disc drive or player; many computers no longer have one
- 02Physical discs only — plan on ripping them if you practice from a phone
- 03Full-difficulty arrangements assume you already play barre chords and scales
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is on the two CDs?
Play-along audio for the songs in the book, typically a full version with guitar and a matching backing track with the guitar part removed.
02Can I slow the tracks down?
Not from a standard CD player. Rip the audio to a computer or phone app that offers tempo control, then slow it there.
03Is this too hard for a beginner?
Likely yes. The Ultimate Play-Along series targets full arrangements rather than simplified ones, so expect barre chords, leads, and faster passages.
04How many songs are included?
It is a single-artist play-along rather than a full anthology, so the song count is limited. Check the contents list before buying for a specific track.
