AlfredRolling Stone 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time Guitar Classics Volume 1
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Guitar songbook drawn from Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs list, volume one. For players who can already play and want repertoire, not instruction.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players past the beginner stage looking for songs to learn
- Cover and jam players building a broad classic-rock set
- Anyone working through a canon list song by song
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Absolute beginners — this teaches songs, not technique
- Players wanting one specific artist's catalog in depth
- Anyone expecting the full 500 in a single volume
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
Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Songs source
Song selection follows that magazine list, so the range spans eras and styles rather than one genre.
Detail 03
Songbook, not a method
It gives you arrangements to play. It won't teach chord shapes, timing or technique from scratch.
Detail 04
Guitar Classics arrangement
Arranged for guitar specifically, so parts are playable on one instrument rather than transcribed from a full band score.
Detail 05
$29.99
Spread across a multi-song collection, it's cheaper per song than buying arrangements individually.

Know before you order

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this have all 500 songs?
No. This is volume one, a portion of the list. The full 500 spans multiple volumes.
02Is this good for a beginner?
Not really. It's a repertoire collection, so it assumes you can already play. A method book is the better first purchase.
03Does it come with a CD or audio?
It's a printed guitar songbook. Plan on working from the page and the original recordings.
04What songs are in volume one?
Contents vary by volume within the series — check the track listing for this specific volume before buying.
