When ever I try a new tab now, I play a cd of the song with it. 9 times out of 10 it turns out to be hrs with a #2 pencil fixing the tab. "Easy songs" and songs that are actually easy to play are to very different things. If an easy song book inspires you to continue I think it's a good thing, but there are several instances where i had to just about relearn a song because it had been "dumbed down" so much in some of these basic tab books. If you end up learning something from them I guess it's all good, but for me it's one of those "if I knew then what i know now" kind of things i'd have done several things a bit differently.
