I purchased this book about a month ago and have been enjoying it just about every day since. The arrangements & many complex chords are definitely not for beginners. I consider myself an intermediate player and the songs are very challenging but within reach with consistent practice. With this book I have started to learn how to approach chords in a number of ways. I'm glad I made the purchased, especially at Amazon's price.
A few things worth noting:
-These are all "standard romantic ballads". I kind of wish it included a few upbeat songs.
-25 songs in the book, but only 12 are on the CD. It would have been nice to include all of them on the CD.
-Chords are included for both standard GCEA and tenor/baritone DGBE tuning. However, I think the melodies are for DGBE tuning. I've only tried the melody for one song, "All The Things You Are" and there is one note too low for standard tuning.
-A chord solo arrangement for "Fly Me to the Moon" is included. It's a great arrangement and probably my favorite in the book.
