5.0 out of 5 stars Great collection, April 1, 2009

This review is from: Acoustic Rock: Guitar Chord Songbook (6 inch. x 9 inch.) (Paperback)

I think this is a great collection of songs in a great format. I disagree with the previous reviewer who preferred the larger format, standard sheet music sized books. I think the 6x9 inch size (which is even stated in the item's title) is great for throwing in a gig bag and carrying around. Granted, the glued binding makes it harder to keep open than some other formats, but with a little bending, it stays open just fine.

After years of transcribing songs myself, or getting inaccurate versions off of the internet and carrying around a big binder full of printouts, I found that this collection of Hal Leonard chord songbooks in small format is perfect for me.

If you like having the lyrics and accurate chord transcriptions (this is not note-for-note transcription, but chords only) in a portable format to bring to gigs or parties, then this book and the others in this series are for you.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great collection, but not legible on the Kindle, May 19, 2011

This review is from: Acoustic Rock: Guitar Chord Songbook (Kindle Edition)

It's a great collection of music, but it is *not* legible on the Kindle (at least the smaller size that I have) and there seems to be no way to zoom or enlarge the screen (the text enlarging only changes the table of contents, not the lyrics and chords). I take it all back if there's some way to zoom that I don't know about, but I'm frustrated that they'd sell it for the Kindle if there's no way to read it.

I use these little books with my students quite often. A quick way to pull up an accurate version of some popular songs that can be strummed around the campfire. Can't be beat for the price.
