Hal LeonardThe Complete Beatles Volume 1 Piano, Vocal, Guitar Songbook
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Volume 1 of a Beatles collection in piano/vocal/guitar arrangements. For pianists who sing, or anyone wanting one book covering three parts.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Pianist singing and playing Beatles songs at once
- Vocalists who need melody line and chord symbols
- Home players wanting a large Beatles collection in one book
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitarists wanting tab — this format uses chord frames only
- Anyone needing note-for-note guitar transcriptions
- Players wanting the whole catalog in a single volume
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
Guitar coverage is chord symbols
Guitarists get chord names and grids to strum along, not tab or written-out guitar parts.
Detail 03
Volume 1
Part of a multi-volume set, so this covers a portion of the catalog rather than everything.
Detail 04
Piano part reads in standard notation
You need to read treble and bass clef. There is no tab or simplified number system.
Detail 05
$45 price point
Priced as a large collection rather than a single-artist sampler — cost per song is low if you play most of it.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Standard notation reading required — no tab in this format

- 03Check the song list before buying, since this is one volume of a set
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this have guitar tab?
No. Piano/vocal/guitar books give guitar players chord symbols and chord frames above the staff, not tab. You strum along rather than play written-out parts.
02Can a beginner pianist use this?
The arrangements are written for players who read both clefs comfortably. A beginner would find most of it hard without simplification.
03What is in Volume 1 versus later volumes?
This is the first volume of a multi-volume set, so it covers a portion of the catalog. Check the contents list for the specific songs.
04Is the vocal melody written out?
Yes. The melody line appears with lyrics underneath, above the piano part, so you can sing and play from the same page.
