Almost for a child to learn the simple notes . Leads and fill are sometimes not there and doesnt have complete song. Dont blind buy a music book. Unless it shows more of examples of whats inside.Stick to ear play; other musician friends and youtube to get you out of a bind.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. dont get thisBy Polockwhen i ordered this i didnt notice the "easy" crap in the corner. these tabs are wrong. they dont sound like the songs and there are no solos. i am returning this as we speak.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. What is this?By Michael R. BacarellaThis is the worst tab book Ive ever purchased. The transcriptions are not what you here on the album. Maybe the intros are close; but whats transcribed during the verses are not what is actually played. When you play it; it sounds like the vocals played on the guitar; nothing even close to the rhythm that Rhandy Rhoads; Tony Iommi; Jake E. Lee; or Zakk Wylde played. Dont buy this if you want to learn to play the songs how they sound on the album. This is a terrible book.
