The Best of John Denver: Easy Guitar

THis book is exactly what I hoped it was. I don't have the reach for some of the more complex chords that the pros use. I simply wanted a book that would help me restart my hobby guitar paling . This book has it all. No complicated chords, sheet music. It can be used with both piano and Guitar. which helps with the vocals.

This book came used as bought with very few markings and is a simple guitar version with lyrics by John Denver with a tune by also in the book by another composer

Fantastic

Each tune is on several pages, and turning pages while playing screws things up. Have to photocopy and mahe one long sheet. They should have set it up as foldouts for each tune.

This book is great for beginner, intermediate or advanced guitar players. The sheet music shows the chords with finger placement. I had to buy the book to get the list of songs in it, so I am providing it here for others to see. These are most of John Denver's greatest hits, only a few are missing.The list of songs in this book include the following:Annie's SongBack Home AgainCalypsoEagles And Horses (I'm Flying Again)Fly AwayFollow MeFor Baby (For Bobby)For YouGoodbye AgainGrandma's Feather BedI'm SorryLeaving On A Jet PlaneLooking For SpaceMy Sweet LadyNever A DoubtPerhaps LovePoems, Prayers And PromisesRocky Mountain HighSunshine On My ShouldersTake Me Home Country RoadsThank God I'm A Country BoyWhispering JesseWild Montana Skies

This basic chord book shows guitar tab, melody notation, chord changes by words of the song and all verses. I love it as I'm a raw beginner and even i can play these songs. All chords to a song are presented upfront, so you know going in what ones you have to practice, which helps a lot. I tuned 2 guitars, and a friend and I can practice and play - as she sings and I don't. Definitely a good learner's book. Shows strum timing also. If you don't know guitar tab, this is not a learner's explanation for that, so use another source to learn - its pretty easy I've found. I'm totally non-musical but I love these songs of my youth!

It’s easy guitar, but was hoping the verses would all be written under the chords. Only the first verse and refrain are.

Disappointed that it did not include TAB format or anything about finger picking

Easy to read

I'm in the early days of self learning to play, but find some of the songs quite easy to play. I'm very pleased with it.

I took a chance on this one, I have purchased similar books before only to find I had to stretch my playing ability before I could enjoy the music. Not so with this one. The songs are great, but the best feature of this book is that it is all open chords. A beginner wouldn’t take very long to start seeing some welcome progress. An intermediate guitarist could have results straight away. Overall, a great book.

Alot of good John Denver songs and the print is large enough for easy reading compared to some music bookes, well worth the money

Love his music and this book!
