      Centerstream just contacted us with a correction. Standard notation is included in addition to tablature. Although the link on amazon doesn't specify, we emailed for clarification prior to publication received confirmation that it was in tablature only. They've now corrected the original story so we've altered the original article to reflect what's accurate.
