| | | | Customer Reviews of This Item | | I heard myself playing real Beatles!!! Submitted on: 2009-11-17 | | I'm not a professional, and I can't read music. I'm not a great guitarist, either-although I'm a big Beatles fan. But this was the first time I could finally find the right chords for "Help!", "Eleanor Rigby", "Come Together" and many other so-loved hits. I could never imagine that I'd hear my own hands playing "Because" or even "Helter Skelter".. It's simple and accurate at the same time. And - the most important of all - it's an easy music book for amateurs, but it's exactly what the title says: the complete Beatles songbook...
Thanks a lot!
P.S. Sorry for my poor English, but I'm just a Greek lady... | | | | Great Book if you know the Melody Submitted on: 2009-10-23 | | | I have really enjoyed using this book. The chords are very close or exactly like my old albums from the 60's. The only real criticism is, as other people have said, it will not lie open on a table. I have resorted to using binder clips with weights to hold it open on a coffee table. Spiral binding would have been nice. | | | | Making it lie flat Submitted on: 2009-10-22 | | Anytime I get a songbook with what they call "perfect binding," i. e. a stiff spine, I just take it to a copy center, and they will slice the spine off, and spiral bind it for about three dollars. Or, they will punch it if you want it in a notebook. Or, you can slice the spine off and put it in clear page protectors, and put those in a notebook.
You're welcome. | | | | Correct keys but book is clumsy Submitted on: 2009-10-06 | | | The songs from what I can tell are in the correct keys and all the chords are there. Note this is a book of guitar chords (with lyrics). There are no tabs, etc. So if you want to get the basic song structure down this is a great song book. The drawback is the book itself. It does not lie flat and it quickly become annoying as you try to keep the pages open. BnB Beatles Depot | | | | Dear Amazon, wont you come out and play? Submitted on: 2009-10-05 | | This is far and away the most useful chord songbook for the intermediate acoustic guitarist. Like other reviewers, I have worn out the spine of my copy, and may need to purchase a new copy. I've also annotated notes against songs.
Why is this Beatles songbook book so useful?
1) If you know Beatles Songs, you can start playing many immediately (some are just 2-3 chords)
2) If you want your friends to sing-a-long, this book is perfect
3) Special chord shapes are shown and diagrammed right when used in song! No more looking up what a A7sus2 chord is
I found playing Beatles songs as a break-through to singing while I played acoustic guitar, the reason being I already knew rhythm of song, so just had to learn chord changes and strum patterns.
Since I purchased this book a few years ago, I've sine noticed a number of other "songbooks" with just tabs come out, so clearly this format works (as it does searching tabs on the internet). The only thing missing from this book is strumming patterns, but I've kept rating at 5 stars since frankly, guitar books I've purchased with strumming patterns are usually wrong/too simple. I hope someday soon all guitar tabs will include strumming patterns. | | | |
