Selections from Rolling Stone Magazine's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time: Guitar Classics Volume 2: Classic Rock to Modern Rock (Easy Guitar TAB) (Rolling Stones Classic Guitar)

Nephew just got a guitar and started playing. This was the perfect gift! Immediately got the guitar out to play a few before we left the house! Book was well made and had a variety of songs

Once again I bought it used. I have done that for most of my music books. The book condition is marked "Good" and it actually is. There is no writing , bend, torn pages or major blemish, while I saved more than half the price of a new one. Music layout is clear and comprehensive. There is chord diagram at every point, making it easy to play, especially ar places where you're supposed to play a bar chord instead of simple chord. Song selection is great. I have read some review stating that songs by Led Zeppelin and the Stones were missing, but I didn't encounter this issue with my copy. All the Zeppelin songs listed on index are there. Zeppelin songs are the main reason why I bought this book.

Lots of good songs though some are for skilled musicians.

Pros: -Song selection is varied and adequately represent the classic rock era -Notation is thorough, including all chords, lyrics, some tabs, and standard sheet music for each song -All the music seems to be in the correct keys, tuning, rhythms, etc -has a short background for each song including band, chart ranking, year, etc. Interesting to read Cons: -Although advertised as "Easy", the songs in this book are more suited for players of intermediate or higher skill level. -The print is a bit small for my taste, I would rather spend more time playing guitar than trying to decipher the notes. -TAB format is often not present for the whole song, usually just intro sections or solos. On the whole, I think that this songbook is a good way to learn some of the more famous classic rock tunes. Rather than some books which only include the more recognizable parts of songs such as intros or main riffs, the Rolling Stone songbook contained sheet music for the entirety of every song. That being said, I found that the font size was set a little bit too small to make for easy reading while playing. I find myself having to spend a decent amount of time before even picking up my guitar to read the music and pick out the smallest of the notes (hammer-ons, pick-ups, chord charts). This book is probably NOT the best fit for those just starting guitar (I would reccommend the "Hal-Leonard Easy Pop Melodies" for novices, one edition comes with a CD to provide backup and tempo). But for those with a fair amount of skill, this publication from Rolling Stone with over 60 songs will provide hours of fun and value Note on shipping: my copy came with 3 of the corners slightly damaged/dented but this was probably due to the shipping and not the publisher

fantastic deal, many music on the cheap

I gave it stars because I do like how it has tab notation as well as the staff and notes and note letters above, but I'm calling false advertising on the cover. If you look at the picture you see Rolling Stones 500 Greatest songs. I thought I was getting 500 songs. If you put your glasses on and zoom in, in black print (which blends well with the blue background), it says something like 76 songs out of the...500 greatest songs. They should have made that text larger and in a white font so it was visible to the buyer. It does have some songs I like, many I don't know, so buyer beware.

Great gift for guitar player

Anyone with a guitar can play songs with this book, I'm learning stairway to heaven right now 🙏

Comme beaucoup d'autodidactes qui jouent uniquement du rock, je sais lire les tablatures mais pas les partitions. Dans ce livre, les intros de chaque morceau sont en tab & partition mais dès qu'on commence les paroles ou la partie rythmique, il n'y a plus de tabs, seulement partition + paroles. Complètement inutile pour moi, j'ai passé l'âge de jouer les 10 premières secondes du morceaux (riff d'intro), je veux pouvoir jouer le morceau entier. Surtout que si on cherche juste le riff d'intro on peut le trouver très facilement et gratuitement sur internet avec le site ultimate guitar par exemple... Je rejoins aussi les autres commentaires sur le choix des morceaux parmi le top500 il y a juste 67 morceaux et pas forcément les plus rocks ou les plus adaptés à la guitare (billie jean, beat it, bittersweet symphony...)

Esta revista es más de lo que había esperado, tiene muchas canciones (las 500 del título) y están tanto en tablatura de guitarra como en notación musical.

È stato un regalo molto apprezzato da un ragazzo che suona la chitarra. Ci sono spartiti e Tab di canzoni rock tra le più famose. Anche la consegna è stata perfetta e il libro è arrivato in ottime condizioni.

Great book!! Excellent song selection and perfect for guitar players of any skill level since it includes chords too.

Huge, nicely presented book. As advertised.
