Hal LeonardThe Beatles Complete Guitar Chord Songbook
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A Beatles chord songbook: lyrics with chord symbols above the words, no tablature. For rhythm players who want to sing and strum the catalog.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Singer-guitarists who play chords and sing lead at once
- Campfire, party and singalong playing where everyone knows the tunes
- Practicing chord changes on songs you already hear in your head
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who want note-for-note solos and riffs in tab
- Anyone who can't already play basic open and barre chords
- Readers who need standard notation or rhythm slashes
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
"Complete" collection
Broad catalog coverage rather than a greatest-hits handful, so the page count is high and the book is thick.
Detail 03
Chord grids
Chord shapes are diagrammed, so you can play a song containing a shape you don't know yet.
Detail 04
No tablature
Riffs, intros and solos aren't written out. You get the harmony, not the guitar parts.
Detail 05
$39.99 price
Higher than a single-album book because of the volume of songs, not because of extra detail per song.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No audio, no backing tracks, no download code — print only.
- 02Some Beatles songs need a capo to match the record.
- 03Thick book; expect it to need a stand to stay open.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does it have guitar tabs?
No. It's chords and lyrics with chord diagrams. For written-out riffs and solos you want a tab edition instead.
02Can a beginner use this?
Yes, if you already know open chords and can change between them. The book teaches songs, not technique.
03Are the songs in the original keys?
Chord songbooks print playable guitar keys, and several Beatles songs sit in odd keys on record. A capo covers most gaps.
04Is it just the hits?
It's a complete-catalog collection, so it goes well past the singles into album tracks.
