The Complete Guitar Player Songbook

Songbook arrived promptly and in excellent condition. My husband picked up his guitar and sat down to play as soon as he saw it. He liked the arrangements and uses it to relax after a long day.

Great book for a beginner practice

This is a great book for a beginner to practice changing chords, strumming and finger picking. Most of the songs are simplified versions based on 3 or 4 chords and one strumming or finger picking pattern. A few songs had up to 7 different chords. There are a few bar chords in the more advanced songs, but most chords are open chords like C, G, D, D7, A, G7, Em, Am, Am7, B7, etc. Best of all, the songs are not 100 years old, but ones still heard on the radio. Playing these songs will give the beginner lots of chord changing practice with songs they recognize, which helps make the practice fun.

Great gift for my husband!

I purchased this book as a gift for my husband who would like to brush up on his guitar playing skills. He was pleased at how many great songs are in the book as well as how easily he can see when and what cords to play.

Good value

Simplified versions of more complex sounds. Finger picking and strumming pattersn provided for most songs. Good go by that allows you to branch out. Over all, a fairly decent beginner to intermediate songbook.

good complete easy guitar songbook

This is my favorite guitar songbook because it has all I need to play some fun, but pretty easy songs. Not only does it have chord boxes depicting each chord, but also strum and pick patterns. It features Simon & Garfunkel, Elton John, Dylan, CCR, and similar older folksy rock. Lots of songs a beginning to intermediate guitar player can play and sing along to.
