You supply the timing and feel. Nothing to play along with while learning a song.
Detail 05

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this book have tabs?
No. It uses chord symbols printed above the lyrics, plus chord diagrams. If you want note-for-note tablature, this is not the format.
02Can a beginner use this?
If you can already play open chords and change between them, yes. If you are starting from zero, work through a method book first.
03Does it come with a CD or audio?
No. This is a print songbook with no accompanying audio.
04Will it work for other instruments?
It is laid out for guitar chord shapes, but anyone reading chord symbols — piano, ukulele with transposition — can follow the progressions.
