Summary: If you are a musician who loves the Beatles, buy this book!
Review: For the musician who loves the Beatles and is particular about playing an arranagement and "getting it right", or for the music lover interested in the nuances of just how the Beatles made their music,"Beatles-Complete Scores" is the book you have been waiting for. Information included in "Complete Scores" goes far beyond other Beatle Books and is really all you will ever need. On the downside--in the "picky"catagory--I would personally like to see the print a little larger(if possible for a collection of material of this size) and a plain bold type rather than the somewhat stylized type,just to make it easier to read while holding a guitar and figuring out an arrangment.In summary, if you are a Beatles fan looking for the "real stuff" buy this book!

Summary: A must-have for any musician who likes the Beatles.
Review: This book is an amazing collection of Beatles Scores. Every song the Beatles recorded is included here, including the early Rock and Roll covers. The scores are transcribed exactly as recorded, including Guitar tabulature, altered tunings, piano parts, and string parts. Occasionally large sections are reduced to a single staff, such as the orchestral part in A Day in the Life. Each song is prepared by hand yet the look is entirely readable, and beautifully done. If you are a musician interested in Rock music, this book is a must. Definitely worth its $60+ pricetag.

Summary: The Greatest Rock and Roll Transcription Out There!
Review: The massive undertaking of this project makes it a gift from Rock and Roll Heaven! Every major instrument on Beatles records written out for the needy to learn and the curious to discover! Of course, it's impossible to take what was never written down in the first place and write it all down perfectly, (not to mention, infusion of character!) but this book will get the average musician at least 90 percent of the way there. That's something I could never do on my own! And why not add a little originality along the way to make up for the remaining 10 percent? While it's not exactly the same string, fret, etc, it'll get you to where you can find the rest on your own. It'll also send your fingers in new musical directions they've never gone before! Although I'd like to keep this book as my own little secret, might as well reward the guys who labored so hard on it! This book can do so many things for you! It is a lifetime's worth of jamming, practice, reference and study. Yes, it's a Beatles Bible!

Summary: The Beatles - Complete Scores
Review: This is a great an accurate book. I had the Beatles "1" and "Guitar Songbook" and this book overshadows them both. The only complaint I have is that on a few of the songs (ex. "Hey Jude" and "If I Needed Someone" are played using a capo and this book does not show that. If you understand the technique and a little music theory, it's very easy to figure out how to play with a capo. The tab and music is somewhat small, I have good eye sight though. If your eye sight is bad, you may want to try and find someone who has the book so you can thumb through it. Bottom line, though, IT'S ACCURATE and IT HAS ALL THE BEATLES SONGS INCLUDED. Nothings going to perfect and not everyone is going to like it. Just give it a chance, I doubt you'll regret it.

Summary: A Bionic Eye
Review: That's about what you need to read this book. I was so geeked up because here I read all these great reviews about this book, obviously by Beatle lovers as myself, but what a dissappointment! The writing is sooooooooooooooo small you need a magnifying glass to see the tablature. Do yourself a favor if it's looking for good, I mean GOOD Beatle tablature, get the Complete Beatles volumes 1 & 2. A lot cheaper than this book and much, much easier to read!

Summary: Amazing
Review: This is by far, hands down, the best book you can get to play the music of the Beatles. For this price, you can't go wrong, it's literally a bible to the Beatles catalog. It's all right there in one book, amazing.

Summary: Every note, every rhythm, every dropped pin
Review: This book is one of the most extraordinary contributions to the world of music and musicians in the past decade. The intricacy of some of these recordings is simply fantastic. From the astounding breakdown of "Revolution 9" (which includes indications of the beginning and end of every throwaway noise sample used) to the perfect transcription of their early pop masterpieces, every song is here with every note represented.
The only drawback --- and it's a small one --- is that the type is rather small. If you're using this to play along to (as I do), I recommend doing so in a well-lit room. Enjoy!!

Summary: Best Score so far. . . mistakes, but only one out there!
Review: This score is awesome. There are some chord symbol mistakes. Eb where it should be E and other such minor mistakes, but if used in combination with listening to original albums this book can be very helpful.
Mistakes as I said, but this collection may not be revised for a very long time and as a musician and a composer I really appreciate this collection.

Summary: The Beatles Complete Scores
Review: Have had it well over a year. Best thing since using the ears listing to the LPs to learn bass lines. Between both you can learn much quicker, makes it much faster and easier.
I use the combination of both on every song.
Has changed the way I used to play many songs.
Wouldn't be without it.
Worth every cent and then some !
Also great for all the guitar cords & tabs as well as lead riffs.
And lets not forget the drum tabs ------------
Everything not 100% correct but is a fantistic help !
Have had several of my guitarist buddys but this one after seeing mine, still have buddys buying it after seeing it !!!!!!
