As a new player, I found this book to be an excellent playing guide. It's wide variety of pieces makes the playing more fun and keeps you interested in the guitar. Includes sections on: Full recorded versions, Easy Guitar with Notes and TAB, Easy Guitar full songs, Chord Melody, Classical Guitar, Fingerstyle Guitar, and Guitar Riffs. Most of these pieces are very popular and timeless classics(i.e. Here Comes the Sun, Mission Impossible Theme, Yesterday, Misty, Crazy)....with a few newer pops, rock, and country (i.e. Takin' Care of Business, Friends in Low Places, T-R-O-U-B-L-E, Layla). This is only a very short list of the 110 songs! A Very Good Book

This book contains a lot of fun songs to play for beginners to intermediate guitar players. I found it especially helpful that the author provides the player with strumming and finger picking patterns. Check out the song list and see if this book is for you. I guarantee that you'll have hours of fun learning some of the songs from this book.

I love this book because it gives lots of good songs and includes a picture of the required chords needed to play the song. I think it is a book every guitar person needs. I am a beginner and it has a variation of songs from easy to difficult.

I bought this book after looking at the "look inside" feature. When it arrived it was lacking many songs from the table of contents I saw from the "look inside" feature. The book that Amazon has and the book that is shown are different books with different songs. I would like to hope that someone would correct that.

First of all, before I say anything about the songs contained within this book, note that 98% of all the songs are in standard notation. I realize that most experienced guitar players this is not an issue but for beginners or those that have been taught to read tablature only this will not do anything for you.
Now, as for the selection of music, I have to say that it is an interesting collection and not quite what I thought it would be. It has the Addams Family and Munsters theme songs, Auld Lang Sine, the theme to Mission Impossible, etc... If I wanted to play theme songs, I would download the music off the internet for free (sorry, I have an issue with playing theme songs).

Need some expierence to use this book, not desigined for new beginers. Good song selection and fun to work with. Easy to follow and understand.

I would only buy it if it was on sale. It is a pretty good guitar songbook but not the best. Did it's job I suppose.

This collection contains easy songs for guitar players. Some old favorites that I recognize and new songs my daughter enjoys.

I could not beat the price for this new book. It was a gift for my 14 year old son and he loves it!

the great thing about this book is it has a bit of everything. Old songs, new songs, rhythm, fingerwork, runs, and some classical. It tells you the strumming style and picking style. You can't go wrong.
