I originally reviewed this and only gave it two stars because American Tune wasn't the version that I knew from the original record. But when I play it with the record, it gets you 3/4 of the way there, so it's really not that big of an issue.Also I've learned a few of the other tunes as well and they are all very well done (Bookends, Kathy's Song, etc.). So I thought I should give it more stars than I did last time (I'll give it 5 this time to balance out the 2).Also, for you guitar players: the original recordings of tunes like American Tune and Kathy's Song don't match a standard guitar tuning (they probably played with the song speed when they recorded it - that always causes this problem). So if you have software (I use something called Transcribe) you can fix this. Just load the song up and then adjust its tuning so that you can play along with it. For American Tune I subtract 20 cents. For Kathy's Song I add 60. Hope that helps!

I just got this book and I was really looking forward to it just so I could learn American Tune, which is a song I've loved for 40 years.But the version I know is from the original record it was released on. It turns out that Hanson transcribed a version from a Greatest Hits record that isn't even in print any more. Seems like it's close, but it's definitely not the same as the original.And since that is the whole reason I bought this book, I'm not too happy.But I gave it 2 stars since I'm sure it's still a well done book.
