Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Note-for-note guitar lesson book breaking down Guns N' Roses parts, with online audio. For intermediate players learning Slash's phrasing directly.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Intermediate players learning solos by ear with a written safety net
- Guitarists working on bends, vibrato and pentatonic phrasing
- Anyone covering these songs in a band setting
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- First-year beginners still on open chords
- Players wanting full songs start to finish rather than excerpts
- Bassists or keyboardists — this is guitar-only
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
Online audio access
Streaming and download tracks tied to the book, usually with slow-down and looping in the player. No CD to lose.
Detail 03
Tab plus standard notation
Fret numbers show exactly where a part is played, which matters when the same note is available on four strings.
Detail 04
Written breakdowns per lick
Explains the technique behind a phrase, so you can apply it outside these songs instead of just memorizing.
Detail 05
Guitar-specific
Bends, slides, vibrato and pick attack are notated. These are the details a generic songbook leaves out.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Audio is online — you'll need the code inside and an internet connection
- 02Covers selected sections, not every song complete from intro to outro
- 03Some parts assume comfortable string bending and a full-length neck reach
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I get a CD?
No. Audio is accessed online using a code in the book. You can stream it or download the tracks.
02Is it full songs or just the solos?
Signature Licks focuses on the defining sections — riffs, solos, key passages — with instruction on how to play them, rather than complete start-to-finish transcriptions.
03Can I slow the audio down?
Hal Leonard's online player generally supports tempo adjustment and looping, which is the main reason this format beats a plain CD.
04Do I need to read music?
No. Tab shows string and fret directly. Standard notation is there if you want rhythm detail, but you can work from tab alone.
