Here's What JustinGuitar Says About the Pop Songbook

This awesome songbook features some of the biggest pop hits of all time - which just happen to be great to play on guitar! It includes 50 songs by artists such as Taylor Swift, Adele, Snow Patrol, Michael Jackson, Elton John, The Killers and Maroon 5, all presented with playing tips and tutorials.

Designed to accompany the JustinGuitar Intermediate Method, this book gives you loads of songs which you’ll love to learn and play, and which will improve your playing as you work through them.

The book’s unique progressive structure divides the songs into four sections:

• 15 Beginner Songs which mainly use chords covered in the JustinGuitar Beginner’s Course; ideal for players who have been studying on the course or who want to consolidate their knowledge of open chords and strumming, e.g., ‘You’re Still The One’ by Shania Twain.
• 15 Intermediate Songs introducing barre chords and more complex strumming/picking, e.g., ‘Chasing Cars’ by Snow Patrol. Perfect for the improving player.
• 15 Intermediate ‘Plus’ Songs which include more difficult chords, strumming, riffs and fingerpicking techniques, e.g., ‘Rolling In The Deep’ by Adele. The next level!
• 5 fully tabbed out note-for-note transcriptions including ‘Mr Brightside’ by The Killers and ‘Beat It’ by Michael Jackson. Pro-level songs to work your way up to!

All the songs feature full lyrics and chords, with a written lesson and playing advice. Chord boxes, strumming/fingerpicking patterns and sections of TAB are used as necessary to show specific detail. There’s even a handy chord library to show basic open chords and barre chord grips.

Many songs in the book are supported by a free-to-access video tutorials on JustinGuitar.com, so there’s everything you need to learn the songs and develop your skills. This might just be the greatest pop songbook ever published!
