Title: Great Songs-Easy (remedial) basic fundamental chords
Review: Here you have a Super Great song list! Hal Leonardproduct, songs have all the lyrics, and chord placementto where they go. This provides tablature to show how the individual notes go. Some songs are closer in re-producing the actual radio played songs than others.This book is for learning these songs in an easy to learn format and it just is what it is. More advanced players may feel they wasted their money, but overall worthy

Title: 25-50% for beginners… the rest is a little harder (but that’s ok)
Review: I’ve dabbled with guitar on and off for much of my life. I could do a bunch of chords and a few scales and a few songs. This time I decided to give it a real shot, so I signed up for lessons (WORTH IT!) and practice 30-90 minutes a day.I bought this book because I wanted to practice some different chords and in different orders than we have done in the lessons. So far I like the book quite a bit. I very much appreciate that they actually show the chords at the beginning of each song so new folks like me don’t have to look up those we don’t already know. I’d say about 25%-50% of the book is for true beginners like me (i.e., uses easier and very common cords like C A G E D Am Em… you know the chords that take two or three fingers to play). The rest is a little harder (i.e., more chord to remember per song, chords besides the majors and minors, require four fingers, and a few bar chords). But, that’s ok as it gives me something to shoot for and judge my improvements.As others have noted, 10 of the songs on the list are “omitted from this publication because of licensing restrictions.” Removed songs include all 4 Led Zeppelin songs, 4 of 5 Rolling Stones songs, 1 of 2 The Who songs, and 1 of 2 Jerry Lee Lewis songs. Not ideal, but not a big deal if you go into it knowing this. But, if you really want songs by these groups in particular, your money is better spent elsewhere.That said, after a couple of days with the book I’m already pretty good at All Along the Watchtower (D Em C), Somebody to Love (Em A Dsus4 G D), and am starting to get better at a few others. It’s made practice a little more fun. Which is why I bought it. So, I’m happy with it

Title: Description is a little deceiving
Review: I think the description is a little deceiving to label Easy Guitar. I’ve been practicing for 4 months and there are only a few songs I can almost completely play, but with some hesitation. May guess is that in 9 months to a Year I may be able to play a third, or more of the songs in this book, and yes I will still consider myself a beginner at that time.If your just starting out you may want to wait at least 6 months before purchasing , just in case you abandon playing before that time.Another fault I feel is that many of the song extent beyond two pages, and require flipping the page to the rest of the song. A fold out would have been nice for least those song that did not exceed 3 pages. Hard enough for a beginner to play, but flipping the page while playing for me impossible.On the positive note there are some nice songs in the book, and they all appear to be complete. As I develop my skill this will be a next step challenge from beginner approaching intermediate stage.There are better Hal Leonard song books out there for beginners with 5 months or less under their belt.I was hesitant to purchase based on the reviews I read, but as time goes on, and I continue to practice this song book will likely fit in.

Title: Love This Book!!
Review: Love this book!! Actually I’ve been playing guitar since the 60s and had all sorts of books and sheet music that got lost in several moves. I just wanted a book with variety to replace some of my music. This book has lots of songs from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. So much fun!!

Title: This is a great beginner guitar song book if you are looking to …
Review: This is a great beginner guitar song book if you are looking to learn how to play some songs while learning how to play the guitar. Each song shows the chord charts for the cords needed, and is written in both tab and single notes so you are able to combine single notes for the melody with a few chords. There are diagrams to show strum and pick patterns. I think it may be more productive to have a guitar teacher demonstrate those. The layout is simple and uncluttered, and not at all intimidating. I recommend this book for beginners.

Title: 2nd book purchased from Hal Leonard for easy guitar. 1st one was great
Review: Many songs listed are not included. 2nd book purchased from Hal Leonard for easy guitar. 1st one was great, this is poor. Book listing should be corrected if they want to keep selling it.

Review: Le livre est de bonne qualité, après les tabs corresponde à la ligne mélodique. Ce n’est pas la partie guitare ou un arrangement pour la guitare. Après si c’est la mélodie qui vous intéresse alors acheter de suite sinon à éviter.

Review: Yo NO lo recomiendo si pretender tocar imitando a la guitarra original de la cancion porque este libro monte va a servir. La descripción del libro es confusa y puede dar a entender que incluye tablaturas de la guitarra original de las canciones y lo que trae es una tablatura (a veces un tanto simplona) de la MELODIA de las canciones. Así que para mi ha sido un dinero perdido y una frustración de compra porque pensaba que traería la tablatura de la guitarra original así como los solos etc de cada canción. Además muchas canciones como todas las de los Rolling Stones o Led Zeppelin no se lincluyen por problemas de Copyright 🙁 Aunque esto se puede saber por la foto de la contraportada…

Review: I have ordered quite a few Simple Guitar Tab Books of hits from various decades. This book, just like the Oasis one I ordered, is exactly what I need. Clear, Simple, Tab Notes are headlined by the lyrics. Perfect. Some books have lyrics on different areas or chords throughout and small tabs at the end – what is that all about. If you purchase this book, is it easy to follow throughout and what a great selection of songs. Thank You.
