Excellent 1st guitar book
This is the best beginner Tab guitar book, ever. I used it successfully a few years ago. This year I bought a copy for my daughter, whose husband bought her first electric PRS guitar. She loved the book!!

For beginners!!
If you're beyond the absolute beginning stage of guitar or you're looking for a book with accurate guitar riffs like you hear in their songs, this is not it.If you're just learning guitar and using a book like Hal Leonard's Guitar Method and you're tired of playing "Ode To Joy" and "Tom Dooley", this is a great compliment. It starts with notes on the 1st string and keeps building until you're playing all 6 strings while including some basic music theory and chords as you go.The Beatles songs are very basic and easy. The first song in the book is "With a Little Help From My Friends" and is played with 6 notes on the first 3 strings. As I said before, this is a "learn to play guitar" book that uses Beatles songs instead of the standards in many other books (although it does have a few of the standards near the beginning).The song list: *All My Loving*, *And I Love Her*, *Eight Days A Week*, *Eleanor Rigby*, *The Fool On the Hill*, *Here, There and Everywhere*, *Hey Jude*, *I Am the Walrus*, *It's Only Love*, *Michelle*, *Norwegian Wood*, *Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da*, *Paperback Writer*, *Penny Lane*, *Rain*, *Revolution*, *Sgt. Pepper*, *With a Little Help from My Friends*, *Yellow Submarine*, *Yesterday*, *You've Got To Hide Your Love Away*.It also includes a 64 track CD that you can play along with (basic guitar and drums accompaniment, not the actual Beatle tracks).Excellent book for the beginner if you want some song variety while learning. 4 stars because I would have liked to see a spiral binding

Best "learn to play" book!
Easy to follow, great instructions-- gradually lets you build up your abilities. Didn't even know a note before I picked this up, gives all the basics you need to start playing!

A Great Companion to Hal Leonard's Other Beginner Guitar Books
If you are looking for a true Beatles song book, steer clear of this. This book is strictly for learning guitar, beginning with learning how to read music and the notes on all the strings. It goes into basic chords, barre chords, sharps and flats etc. but uses Beatles melodies and tunes to get you there rather than the public domain material used in other tutorials out there.It's a perfect companion to Hal Leonard's Guitar Method, which is also great, but it uses songs like Yankie Doodle and the like. Some people have a hard time seeing past the corny tunes because they are expecting to immediately add their favorite songs to their repertoire before learning the fundamentals, so using the methods applied to band specific books is a great idea and the Beatles are obviously popular enough to warrant such a book.Most of the songs, as another reviewer pointed out, are not transcribed as the Beatles performed them so you will be disappointed if you are expecting to be able to play them exactly like the Beatles by relying on the exercises in this book. You should, however, have a solid foundation for learning how to figure out how to play many of these songs once you've mastered the exercises contained within.

It's one of the best books for beginners
I've been using this book to teach students for 10 years. It's one of the best books for beginners, child 6yrs through adult.

It is okay. Unusual in that the book have ...
It is okay. Unusual in that the book have has a SBN code sticker taped over the original code on the back of the book. It also has a sticker on the front cover upper left that says " tab notation edition". Just started using the book for a class and there are few mistakes in the text already.

What a scam
What a scam to buy this book. Unless you are a die hard beatles fan and must have every crappy book which says Beatles on it.Most of the Beatles songs are so easy to play anyway. Rhythm guitar. Strum a few chords and sing. The Beatles Licks are very basic too.This book has more the lyric notes... and lots of them in this book arent the full song and incorrectly transcribed.... Meaning what they put in the book is not the music as recorded.You are better off buying an authentic Beatles songbook which has the "RECORDED VERSON" on the book.This is one of the FAKE Beatles songbooks and they try to get you into it by saying learn how to play with the Beatles music.
