- Campfire and singalong playing where chords carry the song
- Country and folk beginners building a repertoire
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting note-for-note transcriptions of the records
- Guitarists chasing lead lines and solos
- Anyone who already plays these songs from chord charts
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
Tablature format
Fret numbers on string lines. No music-reading required to find where your fingers go.
Detail 03
Career-spanning selection
Draws across his catalog rather than one album, so it works as a starter repertoire.
Detail 04
Printed book
Sits on a stand and never times out, but there is no playback to practice along with.
Detail 05
$19.99
Low enough that a handful of songs you actually learn pays it back.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How easy is easy guitar tab?
Arrangements are trimmed down so beginners can play a recognizable version. You still need basic chord shapes and steady strumming, but not fast lead technique.
02Does this include lyrics?
It is built around the guitar parts in tab. Treat it as a playing book first; if lyrics matter to you, verify the contents before buying.
03Which albums do the songs come from?
It is a best-of selection drawn across his catalog rather than a single record, so the songs span different periods.
04Do I need a capo?
Not for the book itself, but a capo is common for playing along with recordings in the original keys, and it is not included.
