Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does it include standard notation too?
Hal Leonard bass tab books typically pair tab with standard notation on the same staff. The exact layout depends on the edition.
02Can I use this on guitar?
Not directly. The parts are written for bass tuning and range, so guitar players would have to transpose and re-finger everything.
03Is there audio to play along with?
No audio is included. It's a printed book of transcriptions only.
04What skill level is this?
It assumes you can already play bass and read tab. There are no beginner lessons — you go straight to the songs.
