Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this come with audio or backing tracks?
No. It's a print songbook. You'll want the original recordings on hand to hear tempo, feel and tone while you work through the parts.
02Is it tab only or does it have standard notation?
It's a guitar tab songbook, so parts are written in tab. If you specifically need standard notation, check a notation edition instead.
03Do I need to read music to use this?
No. Tab shows you which fret on which string. Basic chord knowledge and familiarity with rhythm feel will get you further, faster.
04Does it include lyrics and chord names?
It's built around the guitar parts in tab. Treat it as a guitar book first — buy it for the playing, not as a vocal or lyric collection.
