 Good intermediate level book for Beatles fans Dec 20, 2008
This is an excellent book for those wanting to learn some finger picked Beatles songs. I'm finding most songs are quite accessible to the intermediate player, and are decent arrangements of the originals. Some may quibble about the faithfulness of the arrangements. Well, they ARE arrangements. I had one little complaint about the arrangement of Blackbird: it does not give you any clue to the way McCartney played it with the index finger strumming technique that gives this song its signature sound. In this respect, the arrangement is not faithful to the original, and if you hadn't seen other arrangements, you'd never know. Otherwise, as others have commented, this is a lot of fun, and easy enough that years of experience are not required, but challenging enough to let you impress at least some of your friends.
 Fun To Play Oct 21, 2008
I'm a 56 year old who grew up listening to The Beatles. Their music inspired me to pick up a guitar back then and learn some of their songs. My inability to play half decently resulted in my losing interest in continuing to play.
A few years ago I decided to pick up the guitar again on a whim. I found myself enjoying ther experience and my wife encouraged me to take lessons. After resisting her urgings for a few years I started lessons a few months back.
One of the first things my instructor asked was what kind of music I enjoyed. After replying I was always a big Beatles fan he pulled out this book and began showing me a few of the tunes. I enjoyed listening to him play them so much I figured I'd buy the book and try them on my own.
The arrangements are geared for the "intermediate" player but anyone will quickly pick up the songs. By starting off slowly and getting an idea of the way each song is laid out I've actually been able to make a few songs sound like they're supposed to sound.
If you ever loved the music of The Beatles this book is something I think you might enjoy whatever your skill level may be.

 WEAK Oct 06, 2008
If you want to pay the book's price to get only one great fingerpicking transcription ( Blackbird ) amongst 30 songs, then you can but it.
The rest is non-sense.
 Helps if you can read music... Sep 04, 2008
My old eyes like the large tablature,but my amateur talents have trouble with this...probably great for an educated user.

A great book for all level Aug 27, 2008
I've been playing guitar for a couple of years now, and am not very good. I bought this book because I wanted something more advanced than the simple beginner books, and less advanced than the real thing. This book fits the bill exactly. The songs are faithful to the originals and add a nice depth missing from the beginner books. Many of the songs are in standards tuning which is nice. While I can't play everything I'd say at least half are readily accessible to the advanced-beginner. I heartily recommend this book. Everyone should find something they can play, and there is enough variation to make this a good learning tool.
