If you are an advance bass player and you like serious stuff, you can start learning some tunes of one of the most important bass man on earth, Paul McCartney. But if you are a beginner and you are practicing the bass, be carefull. The bass lines in some of the beatles tunes are really very though to learn and follow. The book in fact is like any other book with the same chords for guitar and sheet music for piano. I recommend if you like good music, to practice and learn from Pink floyd's album The Wall (easy to follow). But returning to this book, is good if you are advance. Not good for beginners.

It's alright of course, but some harmonies are not 100% correct and it would be better if it could come with audio CD with the bass parts. From 0 to 100. Maybe 85.

I bought this for my son to learn bass guitar, he's a real Beatles freak. Since I play bass, I figured I could help teach him tablature, and that was fine, as far as it went. But he got a 6-string and Dad became the bass player. Well, it wasn't long before we discovered that the chord symbols weren't quite right. With the help of "The Beatles Complete Scores" (also by Hal Leonard, also tabbed) he's now sounding just like John and George. This is a good starter book, but you'll probably notice some of the songs don't quite sound exactly right. It's plenty good enough for living-room concerts, though. And if you only use it for the bass parts, it will get you by.
