Amazon Customer: Even with the great guidance on the chords this isn’t easy. You need to have very good sight reading skills to work out the rhythms and there is a lot of different notation used, which takes some getting used to. Much harder than the fender app.

Mr.: Hard to read for a beginner. I am a beginner and I struggle to read the music in this book. Also for a beginner like me, the way it's wrote it's confusing. I have to hear the song to figure out how to read it and to try to reproduce the notes with the very few provided tabs. Seriously I think this book is intended for intermediate guitar players.

Jack Norton: It has some good tunes that I want to learn. This would be something you get after 3 to 6 months of lessons. Depends on how you are learning.

Forest Dweller: Lots of new songs for me. There are some I know, and some with chords I know. I have not picked up my Guitar for a few years and have found this book a challenge, probably very good for my ageing brain so will persist. My arthritic finger joints might benefit too! I am glad I bought it really.

JS: It has a lot of well known songs. The music is quite simplified so if you know some guitar already, you will be able to play well known music pretty quickly.
So why only four stars? Some of the chords for some songs are super clunky and/or wrong. Feels like Google translate for music. I know some chords on guitar are hard to guess if you are only playing three notes but the publisher could have gone the original score to figure it out it. Am I being picky? Perhaps. Just take some of the chords progressions with a grain of salt.

Rene: I received the book and it looks like it will meet my expectations. I am just learning to play the guitar so I can't say much until I start playing the songs. But it does not look overly complicated which is a good thing. Thank you!

Hadrina T.: This book is complete. It gives you the cords, music, and tabs. So you can play both rhythm and lead to each song in the book. I am excited about learning some of those songs but not all, due to I like it a bit heavy. I would recommend this book for anyone at their half-year mark unless you are a fast learner like some are. I would gift it and buy again if there was a heavier addition.

Thomas Carolla: I wouldn't call it the Simplest of guitar songs. It was mostly understood. They don't pay attention to strum patterns though, which seem to be important unless your really good at picking them up off You Tube.
Overall, it;s a pretty good and classic song book.
