  1. I had a lot of fun with this book, however this is definatly not material for advanced guitar players. The melodies are mostly simple and one-note sequences that go along with the vocals. What is great about this book is the song list. Most people will know or have heard of 95% of the songs in it. Every song has the right chords and chord diagrams to go along with it, saving a lot of pain trying to find the right chords online. For the price, I would definatly recommend buying it, but don’t expect anything that sounds incredible. Overall, the book is a lot of fun to flip through and play along with in a recreational way. And again, A+ on the song list.

  2. As a casual guitar player constantly looking for fun songs to play, this book offers hours of entertainment. Steeped in classic hits but with a good mix of contemporary songs, this is the perfect book for someone looking for that extra bit of inspiration when they pick up their guitar.

  3. If you’ve played guitar for awhile this is probably not the book you’re looking for. Most of music transcibed in this book is the single string melody of the vocal line, not the guitar riffs from the song. Might be more interesting to a new musician, as beginners can pick out the vocal melody easier, but rather frustrating when you want something a little more challenging.

  4. Hal Leonard makes a number of quality guitar books.

    This is not one of them.

    The songlist looks fine. The book looks good.

    The transcriptions of the songs are pretty far off.

    A number of them result in making the song unrecognizable.

    Reminds me of some very old guitar books.

    I returned mine.

    Great idea. Too bad…..

  5. Not exactly what I expected. Soundwise some of the songs aren’t close to the original. There are a number of songs that it is apparent that the editor took some poetic license in redefining “easy.” All in all, I rate the book as average in being easy and in song quality.
