Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this tab or standard notation?
It is a tab songbook, so the parts are written as fret numbers across six string lines. You do not need to read standard music notation to use it.
02Do I need to read music for this?
No. Tablature tells you which string and which fret. Knowing the songs by ear helps you get the rhythm, since tab conveys pitch and position more clearly than timing.
03Does it cover other Ozzy albums?
No. The book is built around Diary of a Madman. For material from other records you would need a separate title.
04Is it hard for an intermediate player?
The arrangements follow the album's guitar parts rather than a simplified version, so expect fast lead passages. Slowing sections down is the usual approach.
