Alfred Music Publishing Introduces The Big Easy Guitar Series

Alfred is proud to offer The Big Easy Guitar Series, a new series of carefully arranged guitar hits for novice and intermediate guitarists. The series contains three comprehensive guitar TAB collections: The Big Easy Book of Acoustic Rock Guitar, The Big Easy Book of Classic Rock Guitar, and The Big Easy Book of Rock Guitar. In the '80s and '90s guitar TAB empowered a whole generation of guitarists to participate in playing and learning music via the written page. Virtually, all TAB available at first were note-for-note transcriptions detailing every nuance of every variation and improvisation played by the guitar greats—cool, but kind of complicated! The Big Easy Guitar Series songbooks are designed the way a friend might teach you a favorite song¿¿¿covering all the basics and sounding just like the record¿¿¿without adding needless complications, so you can play all your favorite rock hits with ease.
