This is a great song book for the advanced beginner to low intermediate player. It assumes you know the fingerboard and can read notation or tab. Each song includes accurate, playable chord diagrams. The arrangements are fairly basic but are true and accurate down to the original key. They go way beyond a "fake book" but leave plenty of of room for the more advanced player to be creative. This is a song book not a method book and I appreciate the fact that there are no pages wasted on fretboard diagrams and how to hold a pick. If you are a beginner / intermediate player and you want to learn these songs this is an excellent book at a reasonable price.
I've been teaching myself mandolin from a few books. Theory, technique, and practice tunes belong in those. "How-To" books also should include a few common tunes beyond old, stale traditional folk tunes. They often don't, or have tunes that are unfamiliar. My interest in mandolin was flagging until I came across "The Beatles for Mandolin."This book is the perfect companion to those primers. It has clear melody lines in note and tab format and includes chord details as well. The tunes range from dead easy to high intermediate (moderately complex to me at 6 months). Learning a tune you grew up with and know by heart provides interest and some ease. You just *know* when something doesn't sound right. Likewise, you can hear it when you nail a tune like "Yesterday" or "Michelle." And, though these are bare-bones tunes, knowing the material (or having it easily available just about everywhere) provides incentive to experiment with notes and timing.This book was just what I needed to encourage me to continue with the mandolin past that "awkward" stage. I'm still not what I'd call competent, but this keeps me motivated.
Just received mine after ordering two days ago. I bought this as something fun to play on my mandolin. I have never really played mandolin but i know tab so it gets you playing quick. Good price, great tabs, awesome shipment. Overall a great purchase.
Nothing really wrong with this. The tab is single-note melody line to Beatles songs. They're in the correct keys, so you can play along with the actual recordings. Simple enough for beginners. It's not the sort of thing that would prepare you to perform these pieces solo, but if playing with the Beatles records appeals to you, this will allow you to do so.
This has been a really fun book- well worth the purchase price. All my favorites are here, along with a number of others I knew, but hadn't played. It's easy enough to just peruse through at leisure and enjoy however many I feel like at the time. They have a tendency to stick in the mind, which is fine by me. Early intermediate to intermediate.
This book provided the basic melodies for the Beatles song enclosed. Not a lot of flourishes but it will get you going on the basic tunes. It was pretty easy to get up to speed and the basics, even at my rudimentary playing level.
Who doesn't love the Beatles? Well...I suppose a lot of people. What I like about the book is that most of the songs, at least the melodies, are very familier and much-loved, so these are fun to play, they are just on the "simple" side, even for me, who had only been playing for about 8 weeks when I got this book.
I am really enjoying this book of Beatles TAB.I am a begineer and so far the songs are easy to pick up and these are Beatles tunes so for me they are a kick to play.I am really happy with this purchase.
