Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need to read standard notation?
Hal Leonard guitar books of this type carry tab alongside notation, so tab readers can follow. Reading notation helps but is not required to work through the exercises.
02How do I get the audio?
A code printed in the book unlocks online access. Nothing ships on disc, so check the code is unused if you buy secondhand.
03Is this for electric or acoustic?
Soloing concepts apply to either. The ideas are about scale and phrasing choices, not a specific instrument or amp setup.
04Is this good for a total beginner?
No. Start with a method book that covers chords and basic technique first, then come back to this once rhythm playing is comfortable.
