Five StarsBy EDGood mix of songs0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Chords are mislabled. Have a good chord guide when using this book!By Marie CurrieInitially; I was excited to receive this book. It has some songs that I really enjoy. HOWEVER; there is a MAJOR issue with this book. The chord names and diagrams are incorrect. Either the names of the chords are wrong or their names are incorrect. (I.e. A7; F) This presents an issue for new players. If one thinks they are learning a particular chord they will discover they are learning an incorrect chord.
