4.0 out of 5 stars Good songs, No Tab, July 19, 2008

I actually own this book. I am a beginner, and was looking for a book of more engaging songs that the usual campfire fare, that I could actually play. The selection in this collection is pretty good. A number of them seem to have chords that are rather difficult to play (at least for me). But there are also some that are quite approachable for a beginner. Also, if you substitute easier-to-finger chords for some of the more exotic variations listed, you can still play. The chord boxes are shown right above the musical staff, which is also very helpful for a beginner.
My only complaint is that there is no Tablature. I would have loved to try out the riffs in some very familiar songs, but I don't read music.

I am a beginner. Know most of the open chords. Ordered this book even against the other review mentioning it isn't for beginners. Put it the most simply...for someone of my limited playing level...there is NO way I can play these songs. Nice format. great songs. just not EASY by any stretch

A nice selection of songs, but not for a person new to the guitar. As a new student with only 7 months of guitar lessons, I could only play about one third of the songs, and I can read music.Still, a very nice book to learn from.
