Bad Company: Interm./Easy Guitar TAB

This collection brings authentic Bad Company arrangements to guitarists at an intermediate to easy level, making classic rock staples accessible without sacrificing the drive and character that made these songs legendary. The TAB format paired with lead sheets gives players multiple pathways to learn each tune, whether they're reading standard notation or preferring fretboard visualization. You'll find genuine songs students actually want to play, which shifts motivation from obligation to genuine enthusiasm.

Raw, powerful, and direct. Bad Company's songs carry the swagger of 1970s hard rock: heavy grooves, vocal-driven melodies, and riffs that sit comfortably in the hand. These arrangements capture that classic rock energy without requiring advanced technical demands, so you can focus on phrasing, dynamics, and the attitude that makes rock music compelling.

Intermediate and easy-level guitarists ready to move beyond beginner material into recognizable rock repertoire. Students benefit from the dual TAB approach and will build confidence tackling songs they hear on the radio and in rock history playlists.

• Use the lead sheets with chords as a reference for understanding song structure and harmonic movement, then apply that knowledge to refine your TAB reading of the same tune.
• Pay close attention to rhythm notation alongside the TAB; Bad Company's strength lies in groove and feel, not just note selection, so locking the rhythm layer brings arrangements to life.
• Compare easier and harder TAB versions of the same song to isolate which techniques distinguish intermediate from easy difficulty, then target those specific skills in your practice.

Build a rock repertoire unit around this collection, pairing it with other classic rock material to create a cohesive concert or recital set.
