Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need to read music to use this?
No. Tab shows which string and fret to play. You will still need to know the songs to get the rhythms right.
02Is this for electric or acoustic guitar?
Electric. The parts are written for high-gain 1980s metal tones and rely on distortion and sustain.
03Does it come with backing tracks?
No audio is included. It is a printed tab book only.
04Is this good for a beginner?
Not as a first book. The material is fast and technical. Learn basic chords and picking first, then come back to it.
