4.0 out of 5 stars
Great book for the songs included, but some great ones left out, October 2, 2009
This review is from: Paul McCartney: Guitar Chord Songbook (6 inch. x 9 inch.) (Guitar Chord Songbooks) (Paperback)
This book has plenty of great Paul McCartney songs, but also (in my opinion) plenty of duds. Naturally, with a catalog as large as Paul McCartney's, this is bound to happen. Some of the songs sound just delightful on solo guitar, while others don't sound very good with guitar alone (Tug of War and Pipes of Peace come to mind).
The songs that are included are well presented, with small chord diagrams at the beginning of each song, and chord names written above the lyrics. Some will complain that it's not spiral bound, this is a legitimate complaint but not something that bothers me a tremendous amount. Most songs are contained to two facing pages, so you can use two paperweights to hold it open while you play.
Here is the complete list of songs:
* Another Day
* Arrow Through Me
* Ballroom Dancing
* Band On The Run
* Beautiful Night
* Beware My Love
* Bluebird
* C Moon
* Call Me Back Again
* Coming Up

* Letting Go
* Listen To What The Man Said
* Live And Let Die
* London Town
* Lonely Road
* Mary Had A Little Lamb
* Maybe I'm Amazed

Paul McCartney: Guitar Chord Songbook, January 29, 2011
This review is from: Paul McCartney: Guitar Chord Songbook (6 inch. x 9 inch.) (Guitar Chord Songbooks) (Paperback)
I just started learning the guitar on 12/3/10. This book had me playing songs I love by my favorite artist (studio CD's since about 2000 not included)immediately. It is a great reference.
