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.

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.

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.

I just received this book and I am very impressed. I have only been playing the guitar for just a short while and still taking lessons. I like the way this book is laid out and easy to follow. Anyone that knows the Eagles' songs and know the basic chords can play the songs in this book. I am glad that I bought this book and recommend this to any beginner or advanced guitarist. It is ia fun book.

I really like this book. I have not played the guitar for 20 years and I was able to start right away with this edition. I really like it and recommend it for beginners and those that want to get back in the game!

Excellent absolutely love playing these classic Eagles songs very easy to play.

This book is done right. All the chords are clearly shown and they seem correct too!
I've been practicing Hotel California for a few days and it's been a blast.

Excellent for Beginner to intermediate guitarist. Good selection of Eagles favorite songs in easy to play chord progressions.

this was a great bargain from one of the greatest groups ever. great shape for second hand. was exactly what i was counting on. thank you

I'm not a very good guitar player yet but hopefully with this book, it will make it easier to want to learn.
