Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Are chord diagrams included?
Hal Leonard tab songbooks usually print chord frames above the staves. Check this edition's contents to be sure.
02Is this for acoustic or electric?
The parts work on either. Most of the material sits naturally on acoustic.
03Do I need to read music?
No. Tab gives you string and fret positions directly.
04Are the vocal harmonies arranged out?
This is a guitar tab book, so it covers the guitar parts and lyrics rather than full vocal arrangements.
