Great Content; Not So Great Binding   2010-03-03
By M. Sargent (Lenexa, Kansas United States)
Like other reviewers have mentioned, this book doesn't stay open very well ... you will either have to put weight on it to keep it open or, in my case, bending the binding so far back as to nearly make the book fall apart. I recently picked the guitar back up after 8-10 years absence, and this was the first book I purchased shortly thereafter. This book is great for those who like to play the Beatles' music. My wife is surprised at how many Beatles songs she actually knows. ("I didn't know they sang that one, too!"). I would recommend even given the poor size / binding. Would it have been better spiral-bound? Of course, but this book has the chords to your Beatle favorites, and if you're like me, maybe you'll find a few songs that you didn't think you liked as much, but are a joy to strum out the chords.
WHERE WAS THIS IN THE SIXTIES??   2010-02-18
By J. C. Young (Niagara, ON, Canada)
This is a great book that unlocks the masterful songwriting that was the Beatles. Their use of simple open chords peppered with the occasional jazz chord makes this book a great study of 20th Century songwriting at it's best. Where was this in the sixties?
Good place to start   2010-02-17
By Ioana Mihaila (CA, USA)
If you are trying to learn Beatles songs and are used to downloading the chords from the internet, this book is a great find. All the songs are there, and the claim is that they are presented in the original form that the Beatles played. I think that's true for most songs, but maybe not all. That said, I wish the authors had put the measures in for the entire songs, not just the introduction/instrumental parts. If you're an advanced player, it won't matter, but then you probably don't need the chords either, just the lyrics.
Not perfect, but a must have book   2010-02-17
By James F. Steele Jr. (Phoenix, AZ)
I saw this book on Amazon a couple of times, and I figured it was like all of the other Beatles books I've encounterd, way too technical for my playing level. Well I bought it and on the first day I had it I was playing Three Beatles songs. I'm thoroughly enjoying it. But, as most everyone else has said, the binding makes it extremely difficult to manage while playing,and since the other reviewers has found a solution, Thanks everyone, I'll fix the binding and I will be completely satisfied with this book. All for about $20.00. Well worth it!
Beatles Song Book   2010-02-12
By Maureen Lally (Boston, MA)
I bought this for my son and he loves it. He had wanted a book of Beatles songs he could play on his own with his guitar. This book is great for him, give him, cords, notes and words.
