AlfredThe New Best of James Taylor for Guitar Tab Book
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Guitar tab collection of James Taylor material. For guitarists who want to play his catalog from notation rather than working it out by ear.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Fingerstyle players learning Taylor's acoustic arrangements
- Guitarists building an acoustic-set repertoire
- Tab readers who don't want to transcribe by ear
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting other artists — this is Taylor only
- Beginners who can't yet form open and barre chords
- Anyone needing theory instruction rather than songs
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
Single-artist collection
Everything inside is Taylor material — deep on one catalog, not a mixed-artist sampler.
Detail 03
"New Best of" collection
A selected set of songs rather than a complete works edition, so specific deep cuts may not appear.
Detail 04
Guitar-specific
Arranged for guitar. Not useful on piano or another instrument.
Detail 05
$16.99
Songbook pricing — cheaper than a method course, since it's repertoire rather than instruction.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need to read standard notation?
No. It's a tab book, so fret numbers tell you where to put your fingers.
02What skill level is this?
It suits players who already have chords and basic fingerpicking down. It isn't a starting point for a complete beginner.
03Does it come with audio?
No. It's a print book — no CD, download or backing tracks.
04Is this for acoustic or electric?
The material is Taylor's, so it's written with acoustic guitar in mind, though the tab plays on either.
