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 01

Play-Along series

Includes backing tracks with the guitar part mixable in or out, so you can follow along then take over.

Detail 02

Volume 78

Series numbering only. It tells you which artist volume it is, not skill order or difficulty.

Detail 03

Tab plus notation

Fret positions given directly. You do not need to read standard notation to use the book.

Detail 04

Single-artist volume

Song count is limited to a selection, not the full discography. Check the contents for the tracks you want.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Audio access method varies by printing — check for CD versus download code
  2. 02Song selection is a subset, not every Nirvana track
  3. 03Guitar part only; no bass or drum transcriptions included

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Does it come with a CD?

The Play-Along series includes audio, though newer printings often use a download or streaming code instead of a disc. Check the cover of the copy you get.

02Can I slow the tracks down?

Hal Leonard's playback platform allows tempo adjustment and looping. Disc-only editions do not, unless you use your own software.

03What tuning do I need?

Several Nirvana songs sit a half step down or lower. The book marks tuning per song, so expect to retune between tracks.

04Is this good for a beginner?

The riffs are approachable, but you should already be able to change chords cleanly and read tab. Complete beginners will struggle with the solos.
