Product Review Summary: Warning - NOT for beginning guitarists This book is totally misrepresented - It is NOT for a beginning guitarist. Most of the songs have more than 10 different chords that you have to use in the song, some more. And a lot of the chords that are required are much too difficult for a beginning guitar player - for example: chords that require you to 'bar' 1 finger across 2 strings, diminished and augmented chords, etc.
I am a music teacher and I play guitar to accompany songs when I am teaching - I am mostly self-taught except for a class I took in college. Most of these songs were too difficult for me to play well - knowing music, I have found ways to simplify most of them to bring them down to my level of playing (eliminating certain chords, changing the key, etc.) but what is annoying to me is that this should have already been done to this book to make it an "Easy Guitar" book. There are only about 3 or 4 usable songs that you can play "as is" as a beginning guitarist. I was very disappointed with this book, it could have been easily simplified, or it should not be labeled an Easy Guitar book.
Product Review Summary: Great guitar book for every Disney lover! I purchased this book soon after I started teaching myself how to play guitar, and I've used it a lot. It has a variety of Disney songs, both old and new. You'll find tunes from "The Lion King", "Old Yeller", "The Little Mermaid", "The Parent Trap", "Tarzan", "Mary Poppins", "Cinderella", and lots of your other favorites, including theme park music. The layout of the book is nice because it gives you a list of strum patterns at the beginning of the book. Each song will show the chords needed to play the song and will give you both a strum and pick pattern that can be used to play the song. Some songs are very easy, while others will be challenging. A beginner should be able to play "It's a Small World" and "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes" fairly easily. I enjoy pulling this book out frequently to play my favorite Disney melodies and challenge myself to learn more.
