The book is very accurate, but be aware that the tabs are written a bit differently than most people are used to. Although it instructs that you place a capo on many songs, the tabs are written with absolute positions (using the nut as the reference point) instead of relative positions (using the capo position as the reference point).

For example, if it has you put a capo on the 2nd fret and play a G chord formation, the tab would read 5-4-2-2-2-5 instead of the more conventional 3-2-0-0-0-3.
