This is a good way to learn to keep time and play along using the basic lead instruction provided in the tab.
Much like other play along books in this series. Worth the price!

Apache- The background music is cheesy and the transcription is wrong!
Telstar- Most of the melody is not written out! Only the bridge.
Tequila- None of the melody is written out! Only the chords.

I wanted to learn some of these songs and start performing them in coffee houses, etc. I don't now if I can do that with this CD.

I know Hal Leonard can do a better job because I have purchased their products before. There were lazy with this one.

Hal Leonard Corporation has released well over 100 of these book/CD collections for guitar over the years, and some are much better than others. Unfortunately, for the Early Rock Instrumentals collection they used inferior backing tracks (common on some of their more recent collections that include software on the CD for varying tempo), and have included several tracks of questionable value. "Telstar," for example, is not especially effective, because in the most famous version, an electronic organ carries the tune, as is the case in this version. Great for practicing rhythm guitar, but that's probably not why guitarists purchase a book/CD set such as this. Perhaps it was because of licensing issues, but there were plenty of other thoroughly guitar-based instrumentals that could have been included instead. Link Wray's "Rumble," for example, would have vastly improved this collection. Some of Hal Leonard's publications unquestionably are in the "must have" category, but this isn't one of them.
