I love this book... I'm an extremely amateur guitar player and the chord arrangements are perfect for me. I take the book camping or just strum in my apartment.

I've definitely wished I knew the melodies to some of the book's songs, but the thing is, with 1200 songs, it's not hard to find ones that you know and like (or that you learned growing up and then forgot you knew). If there's a particular one you especially want to learn the melody for, it's often possible to find it online.
