Arrangements that sound like The Beatles

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 May 2015

Verified Purchase

I think this is the best fingerstyle tutorial for The Beatles music suitable for both nylon and steel strung guitars. Beekman's arrangements actually sound like the way they played. There are no lyrics but the music is sufficiently complex and challenging to play as instrumentals. I reckon you will need to be at RGT Grade 4-5 or 'intermediate' level though some of the songs will push you further. It is helpful to download the guide that Beekman has produced subsequent to the book being published. There are no tabs but then, in my opinion, to fully appreciate accent and timing you need to read notation. There is no CD but Beekman has uploaded a number of his arrangements on YouTube plus other guitarists have performed his arrangements. I would love Beekman to produce a Volume 2 or to arrange songs by Bob Dylan and Paul Simon. He has arranged Neil Diamond's work but sadly this is not in print.

Great arrangements

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 November 2013

Verified Purchase

Larry Beekman has produced some great arrangements in here, more challenging that other guitar arrangements, much more 'filled out' with bass, middle and melody parts - more satisfying that easy guitar versions.
