Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this for beginners?
Not really. It assumes you can already read tab and hold down full-song arrangements. A beginner method book is a better first purchase.
02Does it come with audio?
No. It's a printed tab book with no CD or download included. You'll need the recordings separately.
03Is it tab or standard notation?
Guitar tab. You read fret numbers on string lines rather than notes on a staff.
04Are these the album versions?
No. These are transcribed from live performances, so arrangements, solos, and song lengths can differ from the studio recordings.
