Detail 01
Anthology, not a single-album book
Songs are pulled from across the catalog, so coverage is broad rather than one record start to finish.

AlfredKillswitch Engage Guitar Tab Anthology (Book)
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Guitar tab transcriptions of Killswitch Engage material in one volume. For intermediate metal players who want the parts right instead of approximated by ear.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Metal players learning this band's catalog properly rather than from bad tabs
- Two-guitar bands working up covers from a single reliable source
- Players building right-hand stamina on heavy, riff-driven material
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Beginners; this is not first-year material
- Players who do not know this band and just want general metal exercises
- Anyone who needs backing audio to learn from
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
Tab notation
Tells you where to put your fingers, not how long to hold notes. You still need the recordings for feel and timing.
Detail 03
$24.99
Higher than a theory book because transcription and licensing cost more. It is the standard tier for a band songbook.
Detail 04
Band-specific content
Value depends entirely on wanting these songs. There is no general technique curriculum underneath it.
Detail 05
Print book
No playback speed control, no looping. Slowing a passage down is on you and whatever player you use for the audio.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Recordings are not included. You will want the songs on hand to check yourself against.
- 02Tab books mark tuning at the top of each song; expect retuning between them.
- 03Heavy tuned-down riffing rewards thicker strings than a stock light set.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is standard notation included or just tab?
It is sold as a tab anthology, so tab is the format you are buying it for. If you specifically need staff notation, confirm before ordering.
02What skill level is this?
Intermediate and up. The material assumes controlled palm muting, fast alternate picking and comfortable position shifts. A first-year player will stall on it.
03Are both guitar parts written out?
Anthologies of two-guitar bands generally transcribe the layered parts, but which are included varies by song. Check the contents if a specific track is why you are buying.
04Can I use this without a full band?
Yes. The parts stand alone for practice, though riffs written to lock with drums and a second guitar feel thin on their own.
