The complete Beatles volumes 1 and 2 are really the largest variety of Beatle songs I've seen to date and put almost every other Beatle songbook to shame in terms of variety and size. Songs are arranged very well and the bass lines are near perfect, especially for the Abbey Road songs, which are some of the best. Almost every song is in the original key the Beatles sung them in, with a few small exceptions here and there. Songs are arranged very nicely and professionally, with a few exceptions during parts of a few songs, but this is forgivable due to the high quality of most of the songs in these books. Plus, if you don't like the way a certain song is arranged, you can always improvise to your own liking. I find most of the songs though, sound very good and Beatle-like if played how they are in this book. If you like the Beatles, I would say to buy this, it even includes some of the nice intros to a few of the great songs that are excluded in other Beatles books. If you are a die hard Beatles fan, or are looking note for note of every instrument besides piano and lead vocals of every Beatles song, there is another book called Beatles Complete Scores, which includes extra parts like orchestra parts, drums, and note for note of the guitars. Warning though, piano is treated in that book how it was which means it is only played seldomly, and it is does not include the main melody for the piano part, only buy that if you are in a band who is covering Beatles songs or are a die hard fan trying to learn individual parts to the songs.

Excellent edition of the classical Beatles songs. Contains indications for piano, voice, and guitar chords. The complete edition is in two volumes.

A great collection of all of the Beatles songs from A-I. A definite must for Beatles fans who would like to learn to play their songs. This book rocks--And so can you!
