Does anybody else have this book? It has the sheet music for all (AFAIK) the officially released songs of the Beatles. If you read music, it is very valuable in helping you learn the songs properly. It has tablature for the solo guitar parts, but you may have to take the fret positions and strings with a grain of salt. It has over 1,000 pages and is nearly two inches thick. Only thing is, the print is rather small. For me to get up close enough to read it with the same eyes that saw the Beatles live in Memphis in 1966, I can’t have a guitar in my hands. I’m sure the small print is what made it affordable for a bedroom player like myself. If you have this book, what is your experience with it? Thanks! www.amazon.com/Beatles-Complete-Scores/dp/0793518326/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1427573815&sr=1-1&keywords=beatles+complete+scores

No, but I have The Song Writing Secrets of The Beatles which sounds remarkably similar in both content and size. It's an amazing book but I just feel that books like these miss the point because The Beatles wrote instinctively and not like classically trained musicians who believe, in the main, there is only one way to write, sing and play.

My brother recommended the Complete Scores book to me, but did mention that I should rely more closely and use my own ears. Complete Scores is just a start, but IMHO a pretty good start.
