‘Help!’ How do you choose a Beatles piano book? If you are a confident player, not a beginner, this fab collection of 105 songs will make you want to ‘Twist and Shout’.
These are fantastic arrangements which are fun to play. Some of the guitar-heavy songs, even ‘Helter Skelter’, work surprisingly well. I think the absolute best arrangements are ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’, ‘Here Comes the Sun’, ‘Taxman’, ‘I Want to Hold Your Hand’ and ‘Sgt Pepper’s’.
The only downside of this book is that it doesn’t have every single Beatles song. However, the book is so weighty that any extra pages might cause it to topple off the stand!
In summary, this great collection will encourage you to play the piano ‘Eight Days A Week’.

How lovely that this review has appeared on the 23rd anniversary of George’s passing!
It was a nice coincidence! 🙂
