This book has mostly accurate guitar tabs except the lead solo in Let It Be which is very weak. Also Paperback Writer shows a tune down a whole step and play the song in A which will be in the correct key of G. Who wants to have to tune down to play this song ? I’ve seen a lot of Beatles footage and they play it in G not A. I expect to learn it as the Beatles played it. There are some descent tabs here though but not their best guitar songs. Over all i’m glad to have purchased it and will keep it.
Rating: 4 / 5
I found the music and guitar cords to be right on, except for “Yellow Submarine”. It just didn’t seem to be insink with the album. I was also hoping for it to have TABS, as I find it very easy to learn the solos and the intros with TAB. Otherwise, I’m having fun playing along with the songs.

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 (8.5×11) music book and I look forward to working my way through it.
