"Fun and Easy!"
This is a very easy to follow book of Beatles songs. I bought it for the lyrics so I could sing along and know every verse but realized that it is so easy to follow, I dragged the old guitar out and started strumming the chords a little. My brother does play guitar frequently and he took off with the songs!! So much fun if you love the Beatles!!

"There are too many good things about it to downplay how good this book is!"
I just have to start out by saying that the one for "blackbird" in this book is astonish. It's amazing, the exact chords on the recording and i reckon you can even use it to fingerpick! :-)!

Ok now to the main point, this book might be a bit big and you can't put it standing up perfectly on your music stand, i know i know. With that in mind, I would suggest you be careful with it... because i kinda made a little tear on a few pages already. But this shouldn't downplay the book's intellectual and "inside of the cover" qualities, after it's a book...

So on to the next pro. I know you can go on the net and get lots of tabs, but i guarantee you mate, this is the best! It's really in the exact keys as on the recordings!

Be aware that if you want to play the songs on PLEASE PLEASE ME, you won't find "Baby it's you" "Chains" and a few others on there. That's for the reason that those songs were covers. The Beatles didn't write them. Hence if they didn't write them, they really can't have it on your sheet music catalouge...

OVERALL, this book is great mate, get it if you're a beatles fanatic like me and many others out there. GOODLUCK WITH THE FAB FOUR!

"Perfect for Me"
I play guitar and keyboards at the professional level. Any rock guitarist who is familiar with the Beatles' tunes will love this book.

Just lyrics with chords written above the lyrics. Every song written by the Fab Four.

"Disappointing..."
True to its title, it is just a chord book. Chords and lyrics, nothing else. I would have liked something that had some picking and strumming techniques as well, but I can't honestly say there is anything about the book or the way it was packaged that indicated it would be more. My only question is, why? Why bother putting out a book that is so sparse on content, when there are plenty of books out there with much much more. Don't waste your hard earned cash on this one.

"Amazing Book, Great Price."
This book is definitely a necessity for anybody who enjoys the work of the Beatles. All the songs are transposed well, and the chords used in the book are simplified when necessary, making playing along to the songs very easy and fun. There is just about every Beatles song in here except for a few cover songs like Anna and Twist and Shout, but other than that everything is there. For this price, you get a great bang for your buck. And for those who are new to guitar, this book will help you learn a lot of new and different chords that you might not otherwise.
