More about this title

About the Composer: Tom Higgenson

Tom Higgenson is the lead vocalist and primary songwriter of Plain White T's, the pop-rock band that emerged from the Chicago music scene in the early 2000s. His songwriting combines conversational lyrics with memorable melodies, earning the band mainstream recognition through radio hits and streaming success.

Why we love this

These twenty-one songs span the band's catalog with authentic TAB transcriptions that capture both the harmonic foundation and the fingerpicking details that define their sound. Guitar students get access to songs they actually want to learn, with transcriptions precise enough to reveal the specific techniques behind Plain White T's arrangements.

What to expect

These songs pulse with the breezy, conversational energy of early-2000s pop-rock. Fingerpicking patterns float above clean chord progressions, creating an intimate quality even in the more upbeat moments. The collection balances lighter, reflective pieces with fuller arrangements, offering variety in texture and emotional tone.

Who it's for

Intermediate to advanced guitar students who want to learn contemporary pop songs with real harmonic depth and fingerpicking techniques. This collection works for solo practice, ensemble arrangements, or performance contexts where students need material that resonates with modern audiences.

How to get the most out of it

  • Work through the fingerpicking patterns slowly before adding tempo; these songs rely on consistent rhythmic feel rather than speed.
  • Listen to the original recordings while studying the TAB to lock in the groove and understand how the guitar sits with the vocal melody.
  • Pay attention to any capo markings in the transcription; several songs use capos to achieve their characteristic brightness.
  • Practice chord transitions between sections independently, then integrate them into the full progression at performance tempo.

How to use it

Assign individual songs as supplementary repertoire for students working on fingerpicking independence and pop songwriting structure. Program performances of these songs in a contemporary music showcase or end-of-year recital to showcase what students learn alongside classical and traditional material.

Skills your students will build

  • Fingerpicking patterns and alternating bass techniques
  • Chord transitions in contemporary pop progressions
  • Reading guitar TAB in coordination with standard notation
  • Interpreting capo usage and transposition
  • Dynamics and rhythmic feel in accompaniment playing
