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
Tab notation
Numbers on string lines show where to put your fingers. No need to read standard music notation.
Detail 03
100 songs
Volume over depth. A few pages per song rather than a full study of any one.
Detail 04
Rock and roll song list
Skews toward classic rock era material. Expect riff-driven songs and vocal melodies.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need to read music for this?
No. It is tab, so string and fret numbers tell you what to play. Rhythms are easier to follow if you already know how the songs go.
02Is this good for a total beginner?
It works better once you have basic open chords and can change between them. Easy arrangements still assume you can fret and strum.
03Does it include audio tracks?
No. This is a print songbook only. You will need to source the recordings yourself.
04Are these the actual guitar parts from the records?
They are simplified versions. The main riffs and melodies are there, but layered or difficult passages are reduced to be playable.
