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 book
Depth over breadth. You get every track from one record rather than a hits sampler across the catalog.
Detail 03
Recorded versions
Parts are transcribed from the studio takes, so tunings and phrasing follow the album rather than a generic version.
Detail 04
Print-only songbook
You supply the recordings. Reading tab against the original audio is how the timing and feel get learned.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No CD, audio, or download tracks included
- 02Several Hendrix parts sit in Eb tuning — you may need to retune
- 03Tab assumes you already read rhythm markings and bend notation
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this the whole album?
It covers the Are You Experienced material as recorded, transcribed track by track, rather than a selection of singles.
02Do I need to tune down?
Much of Hendrix's recorded work sits a half step flat. Expect to tune to Eb on a number of tracks to play along with the originals.
03Is this too hard for an intermediate player?
It's reachable if you have barre chords, bends and basic thumb-over fretting. The rhythm parts are more approachable than the leads.
04Does it include standard notation too?
It's a guitar tab book. Tab-format Hal Leonard editions center on tablature; buy it for the tab rather than for reading notation.
