Has many popular licks with tab and such. The backing tracks are good. The CD ONLY has the backing tracks on it, ie does not have the individual licks and examples.

This review is from: Rock Guitar 6x9 Bk/CD Hal Leonard Guitar Method (Hal Leonard Guitar Method (Songbooks)) (Paperback)

This could be a very good book. But there are two main "defects": the size of the book is to small and the print too difficult to read if you are holding a guitar (well, you can read it if you squint). The second defect is inadequate audio tracks.

This review is from: Rock Guitar 6x9 Bk/CD Hal Leonard Guitar Method (Hal Leonard Guitar Method (Songbooks)) (Paperback)

I guess I didn't really think about the size as stated 6 x 9. But that is too small. Why? Why not make it full size like other music books? Book won't stay open. Now for the audio CD included. Wow, really lowrate. I mean, whose idea was it to have saxophone play all the melodies? You can't sing it? OR you just don't want pay license fee for use of the lyrics? The cheese factor of this play along CD is pretty high.Also, if we are supposed to be able to "jam" along with the track, you need to back off on the existing guitar tracks so we have some space to shred.
