The book addresses a wide variety of progressive rock styles, including such subgenres as symphonic, classical, fusion, neo-progressive, progressive metal, Rock In Opposition (RIO), and space rock. The package includes 55 audio examples featuring both demo and play-along tracks (with and without drums) for nine songs in various prog rock styles.
