The Beatles Complete - Volume 1

this is a great beatle songbook.it has all the songs written in the correct key and is perfect for playing the guitar chords along with the records.make sure to get volume one also to have all the beatles songs.

The songbooks the same as I purchased years ago when I was a teen. I lent it to a friend and never got it back. My older edition was a single edition,while this one's a split one. A lot more practical, of course the price has increased since I was a teen but what hasn't. Have fun strumming along with The Beatles.

Be sure to get the entire two-volume set. You not only get songs the Beatles wrote, but also their versions of covers they did such as "Kansas City." The sheet music is clear and quite easy to follow, which makes learning the songs easier. Beginners may have some trouble with this, but certainly intermediate players will be able to take off. The harmonic treatment of the songs is stellar. For those who are "multi-lingual" musically, chords, notes and tabulature is provided. That way everybody who can read at least one form of music can really put this book to good use. I am also delighted that the lyrics are included. That way, people who either don't know all the words or who want to learn them can sing along. Another excellent feature is that the instrumental sections of the songs are included. This book is a must have. Be sure to check out the Beatles' Complete Scores and the finger pickin' guitar book of Beatle songs as well. However, of the choices presented, this book is your first choice. Guitar players, make this book your best friend when you want to play and/or learn to play Beatle songs the Beatle way. Not only will you derive a lot of satisfaction, but others will enjoy your playing as well. Don't be surprised if you get lots of requests to play some Beatles!

Before I read this book I only could play heavy metal power chords... but now I know half the beatles songs (which for me is rather exciting)... It was an extremly helpful book....
