This instruction book includes a very helpful CD for listening in normal and slowed speed. You can play it on your computer or cd player plugged into your amp and practice. The song selection is a really good mixture of Yngwie's best songs. The book does not include tablature for the complete songs, but this is fine if you just want to study and play the "signature" solos and don't want to play the whole song (which is too difficult for beginners). There are no in-depth written instructions within the book so you should be familiar with understanding how to play and read tablature format. However, it is easy to learn! The only information that I wish it had is how to get the "Yngwie" sound through equipment and settings.

The absolute best thing about this book is that the pieces are slowed down a great deal (first played full speed then slowed wwaaaaayyyy down). Yngwie is awsome. I listen to the CD over and over on the way to work. It just amazes me ... the music this guy has composed and the book and cd provide a great combo breakdown. Althought I would like to have seen twenty more songs in this book I am still extremely satisfied and wouldn't hesitate a second to purchase this book. Bye bye back to the woodshed.

So far I have no complains and can only say that this book is one of the best ones, out there on shredding, Malmsteen style. I only wish there were more songs.

Tracks are fast then slow so you can learn it, but not a baby book. A straight up book on how to learn his signature licks. No filler, just his licks. (For people who are advanced).
