As Tears Go By: Interm./Easy Guitar TAB

This collection captures 'As Tears Go By' alongside eleven other rock classics that students actually want to play. The arrangement respects the original guitar parts while keeping them accessible, so the fun doesn't disappear when you simplify the technique. It's a rare folio that treats intermediate guitarists like musicians, not like people waiting to be good enough.

Honest rock and roll with room to breathe. These arrangements strip away unnecessary complexity while keeping the spirit of each song intact, so you get to feel the satisfaction of playing real music from the first reading.

Intermediate and easy guitarists who want to play songs they love without spending months on technical barriers. This is ideal for students in their first 1-2 years of playing, music hobbyists, and anyone looking to build repertoire that feels rewarding immediately.

• Focus on the rhythm pocket before worrying about note-perfect execution. These songs live in their groove, and locking into that feel matters more than speed.
• Let the chord changes breathe. With just a few chords per song, each transition becomes a musical moment rather than a technical hurdle.
• Listen to the original recordings while you prepare. Understanding the guitar's role in the full arrangement helps you shape phrasing and dynamics, even in the simplified version.

Assign individual songs as supplemental solo pieces for group guitar classes or private lessons throughout the year. The variety of styles within the collection means you can match songs to different students' interests and keep motivation high during regular technique building.

• Chord transitions in common rock progressions (I, IV, V shapes)
• Rhythmic accuracy in 4/4 meter with syncopated strumming patterns
• Reading TAB and standard notation simultaneously
