The most important Starter Pack!
If you don’t know how to interpret a lead sheet, you won’t be able to accompany anyone or improvise over the changes. This knowledge is also absolutely necessary for chord melody! That’s why I consider this Starter Pack the most important one. Everything else builds on it.
* You need the Guitar Pro software to open the GP files. Guitar Pro is a software by Arobas Music that plays back written music notation / TABS. I don't sell this software, I just write TABS for it. Those files are a free bonus! If you don't own the Guitar Pro software, just use the PDF Tab instead. It's the SAME notation / TAB.
