This review is from: The Music of The Eagles Made Easy for Guitar (Music Of... Made Easy for Guitar) (Paperback)

This is a collection of the Eagles' early hits, all made easy for beginner guitarists. It includes:
--Already Gone
--The Best of My Love
--Desperado
--Doolin'-Dalton
--Heartache Tonight
--Hollywood Waltz
--Hotel California
--James Dean
--Lyin' Eyes
--One of These Nights
--Outlaw Man
--Peaceful Easy Feeling
--Saturday Night
--Take it Easy
--Take it to the Limit
--Witchy Woman
As with all books in the Made Easy Series, chords are shown in full diagram form, showing you where to put your fingers, which strings are open, and which strings aren't played. Strum marks are also included to let you know how many times to strum each chord. Only the melody line appears together with the lyrics, so you can't really play these songs on the piano- -unless you know your piano chords real well.

Some of the songs in this collection are a lot easier to play, learn, and sing than others, perhaps because their melodic structure is more linear, or whatever the musical term is. More difficult pieces include Doolin' Dalton, Hotel California, and Heartache Tonight. Beginning guitarists may not be able to play every song in this book, at least not right away, but the book puts many old favorites within their reach.

4.0 out of 5 stars Take it easy, March 5, 2001

This review is from: The Music of The Eagles Made Easy for Guitar (Music Of... Made Easy for Guitar) (Paperback)

I've only been taking guitar lessons for 4 months but I was getting bored with the songs in my lesson book. I wanted something more fun to play, but it had to be EASY. Some books claim to be easy; this one really is! Lots of fun, familiar songs that a beginner can handle.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good beginner book, May 20, 2001

This review is from: The Music of The Eagles Made Easy for Guitar (Music Of... Made Easy for Guitar) (Paperback)

This book is a collection of songs that can be played by a novice with about 3 to 6 months of guitar. It is geared to the 30+ age group, I dought that a younger person would get the benifit of already knowing how the songs are suppose to sound, they just don't get that much play anymore, with the exception of Hotel California, which is always on Classic Rock stations.
