I am a teacher and I really wouldn't expect any of my students to be able to play these tunes if they were beginners. This is more intermediate than easy as far as i'm concerned.
My one and only complaint is that the copy I received, although new, has large rub, scratch-like marks over the front cover (and over this handsome man's picture). Had I bought this intended as a gift for someone else, I would've had to go through the trouble of returning it.
It is a great buy, but I could not see the content of each book making the buy a guess of what I would be getting. Otherwise, great!.
