Summary: Looks good to me
Comment: The previous reviews shown here have nothing to do with this book. They appear to be for "The Beatles Paperback Songbook", which does look to be small and not necessarily accurate.
"The Beatles 1 - Recorded Version Guitar" appears to be exactly what it says: transriptions of the recorded versions. My guitar teacher has spent a couple of sessions breaking down "Day Tripper" off of the CD for me. What this professional musician came up with for this song is almost verbatim what is published in this book. So now I have it written out in a form that I can actually read (and correct as needed). It is a full-size (8.5x11) music book and I look forward to working my way through it.

Summary: a great little book
Comment: For someone who wants to jam through some Beatles songs this book is great. Its got the chords, melody, and lyrics, which is all you need for a left-to-the-imagination solo acoustic rendition by your average silent rock star. The ONLY problem with it is that it is pocket paperback sized, which is fine if you're reading it, but if you are playing a guitar you'll need to get one of your groupies to hold it open for you.

Summary: Great value
Comment: For the money this is a really nice book of Beatles songs. The arrangements are good and accurate. I don't know about whether they are in the 'right key' or not. It is easy enough to transpose for the somewhat experienced player. I use a capo for some of them just to adjust for my vocal range (female-mezzo-soprano). I really like the simple, yet beautiful arrangement for "Rain". The lyrics are a teeny bit off. It is 'when the rain comes' not, 'if the rain comes', etc. This is not for a beginner. There are somewhat difficult bar chords and not all the chords in the arrangements are referenced in the back. Any comprehensive chord book will fix this. Or some figuring out. I have been playing for a year (compulsively) and I have a music background. I wasn't able to use most of the songs in this book when I first got it last year. The biggest beef I have with this book is the size and the fact you need to weight the pages down. But what do you want for the price? I am planning on scanning the pages and enlarging them. I'm now going to look for some others in the series. Keep practicing!
