    While, it’s fun to see ALL of the Beatles tunes in one book, this book was clearly not compiled by a guitarist. In many places the guitar voicing is spectacularly wrong, and is recorded in ways in which a guitarist would never play something. The author clearly had no concept of walkups and walkdowns around chords, a technique used by many composing guitarists. For example, “Dear Prudence,” “While my guitar gently weeps,” “Blackbird” and even easy ones like “Mother Nature’s Child” are butchered in terms of tabbing. “Dear Prudence” and “Blackbird” are particularly offensive–the chord voicings in the book only bear a passing resemblance to those actually played by the Beatles. How can one mess up “Dear Prudence?” The verse bass walkdown over D is classic, and is the same as Neil Young’s “Needle and the Damage Done.” D-C-B-Bb, 2 beats each. The chorus and bridge are botched as well. Same thing with the “Weeps” verse over Am: A-G-F#-F. This is straightforward stuff if the author knew anything about guitar playing, but is completely botched in this book.

    So in summary this book may work as a “family singalong around the piano” book, but it’s going to fail a guitarist who wants to explore how the greatest rock songwriters in history practiced their craft. If you’re looking at this for the guitar tab, look elsewhere! I did much better messing around myself or looking for tabs on the internet.

    book was delivered quickly, however the softback cover is glued to the front and back pages – it is not attached ot the binding. very peculiar. i have never seen a soft cover book or song book attached to the front and back pages, the covers are always attached to the binding, far more secure.

    Vocals: incomplete. There is no backing vocals transcriptions.

    Guitar: only the chords. No solo.

    Piano: only a very simple arrangement.
