Ultimate Guitar Play-Along: Journey: Guitar Authentic Guitar TAB Book & 2 Enhanced CDs

These eight tracks represent some of the most recognizable guitar parts in rock history, and the combination of authentic TAB, full notation, and flexible playback tools means students can learn the exact voicings and rhythmic feels that define the originals. The TNT Changer transforms practice by letting you isolate problem sections, adjust tempo without pitch shift, and switch between full mixes and guitar-free accompaniments, turning repetitive drill into purposeful work.

These songs carry the soaring ambition and emotional directness that defined '80s arena rock. Whether you're playing the anthemic rhythm parts of "Don't Stop Believin'" or the delicate fingerstyle of "Open Arms," you're learning to balance power and finesse, to build momentum in a band context, and to deliver guitar work that serves both the song and the listener.

Intermediate to advanced guitarists who want to master authentic rock repertoire with professional backing. Students benefit from seeing how successful songwriting combines clear melodic hooks with driving rhythm guitar work and complementary lead lines.

• Start with the full instrumental recording to internalize the overall sound and phrasing before isolating your part on the play-along track.
• Use the tempo adjustment feature to lock in challenging rhythm sections at a slower speed, then gradually increase tempo in small increments until you match the original.
• Loop individual song sections or chord changes to build muscle memory for transitions; the TNT Changer makes this process seamless without wearing down the audio.
• Reference the lyrical content and vocal phrasing in the notation to understand how your guitar lines sit relative to the melody and vocal rhythms.

This collection works well for guitarists preparing recital material or as a supplemental text for students who need motivation through familiar songs. The eight-track format also allows students to choose tracks that suit their current technical level, starting with simpler pieces and progressing to more demanding ones as their skills develop.

• Playing rhythm and lead guitar parts over real-world song structures and chord progressions
