I have to confess I am a beginner, so if you're an expert my review might not be so helpful. However, as a beginner I have foudn this book very helpful even with my limited guitar experience. I've had about a month's worth of lessons and it takes me much longer than it should to learn a song, but this book has really helped me expand on what I know and be able to play along with the songs I love. It's been a real confidence booster, even for someone with nascent skills like mine. So, although I still have a lot to learn, I found the TAB really helpful for Sounds of Silence, Mr Tambourine Man and House of the Rising Sun. Although I am still learning and not as smooth as I would like, I am able to follow along with the songs and work on building my skills thanks for the nice notations in the book.

While the main title says "500 Songs," you actually get only get 61. The actual scoring is right-on and the tabulature is accurate, but the advertising is deceptive.

As others have said, this is 61 songs. Which I knew when I purchased it. The collection is respectable, so I'm fine with that. The biggest disappointment is that the TAB is incomplete. Few songs have a complete TAB, most only the first few lines. TAB is why I bought this and why I'm disappointed.

Have only had this book a short time, but the few songs I've tried seem to have the correct chord phrasing, and are fun to play. Fun for a casual guitarist like me, but enough there that it seems likely to be useful to more advanced players.Has a nice variety of very mellow early rock, to bluesy rock , to some hard rock.

I found this to be an excellent reference. Complete guitar chords and tab for a wide variety of familiar 50-70s music. Clearly no book can contain everything, but this one (and its related volume) do pretty well.

This collection of "Early Rock to the Late 60's" is a very good collection of songs that are suited to beginning guitar players. My daughter and son are both learning to play guitar and wanted to expand their music collection to include classic rock. The title says "500 Greatest Songs" but there is only music for 61, presented in both Tablature and Standard Notation.This collection has plenty to choose from for both of them, especially when paired with Selections from Rolling Stone Magazine's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time: Guitar Classics Volume 2: Classic Rock to Modern Rock (Easy Guitar TAB) (Rolling Stones Classic Guitar).Highly Recommended!CFH

Great selection of songs from Rolling Stone magazine's list of 500 greatest "rock" songs. No, you do not get the music for all 500 songs, but you do get an excellent selection of about 60 from this list of 500 with lyrics, standard music notation for melody and guitar, plus guitar tablature. A great selection of songs from the 1950's and 60's. I would not classify all of these songs as rock, but they are Still great songs for guitar.

Has the lyrics, guitar chords, and Tab. That's what I like about it. Some books don't have all 3. Books with songs by the decade are good to learn from, the collection of styles are more similar and you can get in the groove of the whole book if you practice batches of songs at a time.
