Book Reviews of The Beatles Complete Chord Songbook
Book Review: Amazing Book, Great Price.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is definitely a necessity for anybody who enjoys the work of the Beatles. All the songs are transposed well, and the chords used in the book are simplified when necessary, making playing along to the songs very easy and fun. There is just about every Beatles song in here except for a few cover songs like Anna and Twist and Shout, but other than that everything is there. For this price, you get a great bang for your buck. And for those who are new to guitar, this book will help you learn a lot of new and different chords that you might not otherwise.Book Review: Rick Brand
Summary: 3 Stars
There are two major problems. First, it should have a spiral cover so that it can actually be used by someone playing their guitar with both hands. It doesn't stay open, making it somewhere between useless and a royal pain.
Second, they don't give the chords in the original key, so you cannot play along with the album if you wish. Example: And Your Bird Can Sing is written in D instead of E, as on the CD.
On the other hand, it contains all the lyrics and chords to all their music, so, all things considered, I'm happy I got it.
Book Review: Not perfect, but a must have book
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw this book on Amazon a couple of times, and I figured it was like all of the other Beatles books I've encounterd, way too technical for my playing level. Well I bought it and on the first day I had it I was playing Three Beatles songs. I'm thoroughly enjoying it. But, as most everyone else has said, the binding makes it extremely difficult to manage while playing,and since the other reviewers has found a solution, Thanks everyone, I'll fix the binding and I will be completely satisfied with this book. All for about $20.00. Well worth it!Book Review: Good place to start
Summary: 4 Stars
If you are trying to learn Beatles songs and are used to downloading the chords from the internet, this book is a great find. All the songs are there, and the claim is that they are presented in the original form that the Beatles played. I think that's true for most songs, but maybe not all.
That said, I wish the authors had put the measures in for the entire songs, not just the introduction/instrumental parts. If you're an advanced player, it won't matter, but then you probably don't need the chords either, just the lyrics.
Book Review: Hal Leonard deceived customers
Summary: 1 Stars
On its website, Hal Leonard shows that this book contains piano notes as well as those for guitar and vocal, with a picture showing what its content should be like. Yet in reality, there is no piano notes at all! They simply decievied customers into buying their books, and they are unwilling to apologize! Until now, that mistake still exists in their website. They argued that this book is a "fake" book that can be used for piano. What an incredible excuse! Shameless enough. I wonder why such a lousy company can exist till now.
