The Ultimate Song Pages Acoustic Guitar -- A to Z: 220 Songs

I'm not sure what book T. Cheney is referring to but it is not this book. I have owned this book for well over 3 years and EVERY one of the 220 songs in it have standard music notation, tab notation, lyrics and lyrics notation as well. It's true some songs do not have chord diagrams but IMO if you have tab, chord diagrams are just a convenience. Then there are songs where chord diagrams are not necessary, for example "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" or "The Ancient". These two examples are fingerstyle pieces. "Dreamboat Annie" is another example of a song without chord diagrams and shows chord names at the appropriate places (as do all the songs I've looked at). If you're having trouble with knowing what Dm, Dm7, G and C chords are then this is not a book for you. In all, this book and the other "Guitar Tab White Pages" books are excellent, accurate and complete. I own six of these type books and they are 1000x better than any 'net guitar tab you'll find and well worth the price.
