Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this include standard notation too?
It is sold as a guitar tab songbook, so tab is the format you should expect for the guitar parts.
02Do I need to read music?
No. Tab uses fret numbers on six lines representing the strings, so you can use it without reading standard notation.
03Is this for beginners?
It assumes you can already fret chords and power chords cleanly. A beginner method book is a better starting point.
04Does it come with audio?
No audio is included. Play along with your own copies of the recordings to work out timing and feel.
