There are songs from across the whole rock 'n' roll spectrum. Whilst most are upbeat, wild 'n' crazy rockers, there are also numbers for serenading your sweetheart. Songs vary in difficulty from 'three-chord tricks' that beginner strummers will quickly master, to more complex tunes that are sure to satisfy the experienced picker. These include: 'Blue Suede Shoes', 'Tutti Frutti', 'Lipstick on Your Collar', 'That'll Be The Day', 'Rock and Roll Ruby', 'Dream Lover', 'Rock Around the Clock', 'Johnny B Goode', 'All I Have to Do Is Dream', 'Be-Bop-a-Lula', 'Jailhouse Rock', 'Teenager in Love', and 'Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On'. Each song has been carefully selected and arranged for guitar and is presented over a double-page spread with chords above the lyrics.
