(More customer reviews)Everyones review is reffering to a Beatle guitar book, not the piano book that I am seeing.I don't know how this happens, but this is the second piano book at Amazon that was linked to guitar seach inside and wrong reviews.I'm just glad I paid attention or I would have gotten the piano book based on a guitar review.

Beatles Favorites (Five Finger Piano Songbook) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I would elaborate on the previous reviewer's remarks by clarifying that the purpose of this book - and its wonderful companion volume 'The Beatles' Hits'- is not to cover every note of the songs that it contains.Rather, the purpose of the books is to help guitarists to learn the 'fiddly bits' in The Beatles' songs - lead breaks, tricky guitar figures, riffs, and interplay between several guitars.
Being both a Beatles' obsessive, and a guitar player interested in pinpoint accuracy, I have sought out tabs from many sources, online and in bookstores.I have never found anything as accurate as Wolf Marshall's transcriptions. And some of the other books are plain wrong.However, I find it somewhat curious that - having gone to the lengths that he did, of acquiring the same intruments used by the Fab Four in order to make the sound of the accompanying CD Rom's more accurate - Marshall doesn't actually seem capable of copying the style of playing 100% accurately, although he seems to be trying to do so. I find it reassuring that a session musician couldn't cop the feel that The Beatles put into their playing.
The idea of providing music, tablature, and CD versions of the songs is a great one, because it covers all modes of learning. And the way that the CD's are recorded is inspired: Marshall provides versions of portions of the tracks at regular and slow speeds, and within each of these contexts records the instruments on different tracks which can be isolated or combined using the balance control. In practice, this means that one can turn the balance in order to provide backing (drums and bass), eliminating the guitar part(s), thereby allowing one to play along with the backing tracks; conversely, one could eliminate the backing, and just play along with the guitar parts - a brilliant idea.
Marshall also provides fine written and verbal commentaries about each track, and about The Beatles' musical and cultural importance - a very welcome bonus.
I can't wait to get Marshall's 'The Best of the Beatles for Acoustic Guitar'.
Congratulations, Wolf. It's nice to find someone who cares enough to do such a thorough job.
Geert
