I bought this book years ago and still haven't got through it all. Hal Leonard has put out some the most excellent transcriptions to date. Sure you can get these free on the internet but will they sound like the song? Do you want to go through all that work and not have something for your efforts? This is even better because it has the notation (Grand Staff) with the Tab for all guitar parts. Each song has your tuning (i.e. 1/2 step down, drop D, etc.), Chord Boxes, and chord charts if applicable. Also notes two guitars arranged as one , piano arranged for guitar etc if applicable. Learn a song in this book and you'll know the form (verse, chorus, 1,2,solo, outro, etc.) I would not regret buying this book for twice the price I got a deal!
