Hal LeonardStevie Ray Vaughan - The Sky Is Crying Guitar Tab Book
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Guitar tab transcriptions of Stevie Ray Vaughan's The Sky Is Crying, for players who already have basic blues technique and want his parts written out.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Blues players learning SRV phrasing off the page instead of by ear
- Guitarists who read tab and want album-specific parts
- Practice material for someone past open chords
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Total beginners still learning chord shapes and picking
- Players who want theory instruction rather than transcriptions
- Anyone needing bass, drum or keyboard parts
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
Single-album songbook
Focused on one record, so the material stays stylistically consistent instead of jumping across a career.
Detail 03
Hal Leonard
Standard licensed print publisher, so the layout and tab conventions match most other method and artist books.
Detail 04
$24.99 print book
Roughly the price of one lesson, and you keep it. No subscription or account tied to it.
Detail 05
Artist transcription, not a method
It shows you what was played, not how to build technique from scratch. Bring your own fundamentals.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01You supply the guitar, amp and strings. This is the book alone.
- 02Tab gives notes and positions; vibrato and feel come from the recordings.
- 03Some parts sit above beginner difficulty, especially fast lead lines.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need to read sheet music for this?
No. It is written in guitar tab, so you read fret numbers on string lines rather than standard notation.
02Is this good for a beginner?
It is a stretch. You want chord changes, basic lead technique and comfort with tab before the material becomes useful.
03Does it include bass or drum parts?
No. It is a guitar tab book, so the transcriptions are written for guitar.
04Can a left-handed player use it?
Yes. Tab notation is the same, you just read the string order for your setup. Nothing about the book is handed.
