About this title

Synopsis

This Play It Like It Is guitar tab songbook features note-for-note transcriptions of 14 standout tracks by Foreigner, drawn from their retrospective collection. Designed for intermediate guitarists who want to recreate the original recordings with accuracy, it presents each song in detailed guitar tablature alongside standard notation, vocal melody, lyrics, and chord names. For players who value authenticity, this collection offers a close look at the riffs, solos, and rhythmic textures that defined Foreigner’s arena rock sound.

In addition to the complete guitar arrangements, the book includes black and white photos, background on the band, and an interview with founder and guitarist Mick Jones discussing the songs and their legacy. The Play It Like It Is approach means the parts are transcribed as performed, making it especially rewarding for guitarists who want to match the tone, phrasing, and structure of the original recordings.

Working through these arrangements helps players refine timing, articulation, and expressive control while exploring classic rock songwriting at its most memorable. From driving rhythm parts to melodic lead lines, the material supports both focused practice and performance preparation. Whether revisiting favorites from decades past or discovering them in greater depth, guitarists gain insight into arrangement techniques and the craft behind enduring radio hits.
