Very good book Feb 12, 2007
By EZ
I've been playing guitar for about 18 months. (43 year old late starter.) Gravitate toward fingerstyle play. My progress is slow, but I enjoy it. No hurry. I'm still a biginner, really.
This book is just the right level for me. The songs are difficult at first, but playable with persistance and practice. The arrangements don't require any more than a three fret stretch, and picking is mostly either one or two strings, or full chords. Some are harder than others, so it will keep me busy for awhile.
Oh, yes, the songs are really beautiful as well!

excellent and easy book for fingerstyle practice Dec 08, 2006
By maymay
I agree with the other reviewers. This book offers a great way to practice fingerstyle guitar and to enjoy what you are playing. This book would be especially helpful to those who have a bit of fingerstyle knowledge already, but might not yet call themselves "intermediates". The tab is big and easy to read (however there are none of those little boxes above that show finger placement for the chords---sorry I forgot what those are called!--You can tell I am self taught!) It is not an instruction book, so one would have to have some very basic knowledge of guitar playing. If you are interested in a great Fingerstyle Guitar book to complement this one, or even for those who haven't yet tried Fingerstyle guitar--I would whole-heartedly suggest Mark Galbo and Arnie Berle's "Beginning Fingerstyle Blues Guitar". One other thing I'd like to add is that if you are mainly looking for a book which shows how the Beatles played the songs--exactly--note for note--this would not be it. If you are looking for some fun fingerstyle arrangements that will stretch you from advanced beginner to maybe early intermediate, and you want to enjoy the journey, this book is a good bet.

 Know what you are getting Dec 21, 2010
By Pgh, PA
This book is fine, but I wish I had known in advance what the the author was trying to accomplish. With the exception of "Blackbird", the book does not help you to play the guitar parts you might be familiar with from recordings. Instead, the music in the book transcribes the vocal melodies we are all familiar with on top of simple finger picked chord arpeggios. The end result is music that might be closely associated with elevators and weddings. Depending on your audience this can be OK, but it can also sound very cheesy. Also, note that the keys of many songs have been changed in order to allow playing the music in this manner.

Great Fun Aug 13, 2007
By Jason Brenton
"J."
Brilliant! Leonard has done it again, as "FINGERPICKING BEATLES" is another great compilation. The notation and tablature in the book are both of excellent quality, they are easy to read and are marked well. The difficulty level of the music is very consistent, any intermediate player will be able to play through the songs after a few tries if they are not able to site read them right off the bat. The sacrifice of difficulty in the music playing does not effect the sound however. Both bass lines and melody are included in every single song, which is a major plus. It should be mentioned that "Blackbird" is not a transcription of the lead melody, rather it is of the original guitar part.
For those who may be wondering, while the guitar "sings" for the player in every single song, there is certainly enough of a "Bass" sound to the songs to allow the player to sing along if they wish to. This is a must have for Beatles fans, I highly recommend it for every guitar player.
In short:
~ Clear Notation
~ Very consistent
~ Great Quality
~ Very pleasing to the ear
~ Sounds beyond its actual difficulty level
~ A must buy!
