Hal LeonardSteve Vai Passion and Warfare Transcribed Scores Book
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Note-for-note transcribed scores of Steve Vai's Passion and Warfare. For advanced guitarists who want the full written arrangement, not simplified tab.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Advanced players learning Vai's parts exactly as recorded
- Studying legato, whammy, and harmonic technique in written form
- Transcription students analyzing how the album is put together
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Beginners and intermediates; this material is technically demanding
- Players who want easy or simplified arrangements
- Anyone expecting audio tracks or backing tracks with the book
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 02
Note-for-note
Written to match the recording rather than simplified, so the fingerings and rhythms are the real ones.
Detail 03
Album-specific
Covers Passion and Warfare only. It is not a career-spanning Vai anthology.
Detail 04
$29.99
Priced like a full score book rather than a single-song sheet, reflecting the amount of notation inside.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No audio, backing tracks, or instructional video is included

- 03Expect months of work; this is not a weekend read-through
Product questions
