I ordered this book from alibris to get myself more into playing my guitar and piano. It got here fast and is a very easy read. Nothing in the book was over the top of my head and i've only had about a semester of formal music training in middle school. The book has everything tabbed for guitar, shown on a keyboard/piano, and also has the musical staff notation. A great must have book for any beginner to music. Very, very helpful. Thanks for the great service once again Alibris.
