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 songbook
Deep coverage of one band's catalog. No variety — everything sits in the same stylistic and technical range.
Detail 03
Avenged Sevenfold material
Expect fast alternate picking, drop tunings and harmonized dual-guitar lines. Technically demanding across the board.
Detail 04
Dual-guitar arrangements
Harmony parts are written for two players. Solo practice means picking one line and losing the interplay.
Detail 05
Print songbook, no lessons
It transcribes what was played. Technique, tone and gear choices are up to you.
Final check
Know before you order

- 03Several songs need drop or down tunings; a second guitar saves retuning
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Which songs are in it?
Contents vary by edition. Check the track list on the back before buying — single-artist books get revised as catalogs grow.
02Are the solos included?
Hal Leonard artist tab books transcribe lead parts along with rhythm. Confirm on the specific edition if a particular solo is the reason you're buying.
03What skill level is this?
Intermediate to advanced. The picking speed, tunings and harmonized leads assume you already have technique under your fingers.
04Do I need two guitarists?
No, but the harmonized parts are written for two. Alone, you pick one line or layer them in a recording.
