Blues You Can Use (Blues You Can Use) 34 reviews
John N Ganapes
Hal Leonard Corporation, 1995
Stellar learnings on blues rock!
I have only been playing guitar for about a year so am still entry level. I knew the major chords and some others before picking up this great book. I would say it is NOT a raw beginner's book as others have said but it is an entry-level book for those who have at least tinkered with the guitar for a couple of months. The content is very easy to comprehend and simply takes some practice to ...

The Ultimate Scale Book 14 reviews
Troy Stetina
Hal Leonard Corporation, 1999
The best book to carry in your gig bag for scales and more scales and theory
okay, so the photo looks like a shiny eyed kind of long hair heavy metal kind of guy. Check out his list of other books, including Black Sabbath licks. Also see the college music departments he has run, and programs he has designed. Visit his eponymous website, and build your trust. You too will believe that you can one day play.
The scales in this book are just right and just enough, are just ...

Hal Leonard Corporation, 2006
Some great solo pieces!!!
The sheet music is incredibly well transcribed and is very complete. I do wish it had ALL of the songs that are on the CD, but the book is still definitely worth the price!

The Beatles - Complete Scores
Awesome in it's scope and presentation. I don't know how publishers of songbooks or sheet music get away with publishing so very many wrong versions of songs. We all pay good money so we can learn how to play our favorite songs - and so much more often than not, these publications are wrong.
Not this one. E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G is here, and it actually correct! You may think its a little ...

The Beatles Best: Easy Piano5 reviews
The Beatles
Hal Leonard Corporation, 1987
My favorite piano book... by FAR!!
I've been using this book for the past year or so, and I still love it. This book has helped me develop my music reading skills far more than any other book I have. I have purchased a number of easy piano books, but not one of them even comes close to this one. I feel that the arrangements have been done with sensitivity and a good feel for the 'heart' of the songs. The music is printed in a ...

The Real Book: Sixth Edition43 reviews

Hal Leonard Corporation, 2004
A Necessity for Jazz Musicians
Put simply, if you want to play jazz, you need to know the tunes in this book. My guitar teachers have given mixed reviews of some of the arrangements of the tunes, but nonetheless, the Real Book is a must-have for any serious jazz musician.

My symphathy
Hi, D. Shultz "siteswap soroban" i think i should believe what you said. Now i know who is the original inventor. Next time when you got ideas just go and meet the book publishers. Couldn't trust on private colleges anymore.
Anyway, if this is your real idea. I really salute your knowledge and i would give the 5 stars because of your work (not Jim Fleser). I'm so sorry to hear that, i know how ...

The Beatles Complete Chord Songbook66 reviews
The Beatles
Hal Leonard Corporation, 2000
Must Have for Beatles Lovers
The title of this book says it all...Complete Chord Songbook. If you love the Beatles and aspire to play their music on the guitar, I would highly recommend this book to you. If you know basic chords, you will be able to play many of the songs as soon as you pick it up. If not, each song has chord diagrams so you can easily figure them out. I can't speak for the professional musician, but if ...

The Best of Coldplay for Easy Piano: Updated Edition5 reviews
Coldplay
Hal Leonard Corporation, 2004
Simple arrangements & Great selection of songs
12 Coldplay songs from the albums "Parachutes" and "A Rush of Blood to the Head".
I've only had a couple of years of piano lessons (and that was years ago) and I bought this book to help me get back into playing. The arrangements are easy (but no, not beginner), and don't take much practise before you're sounding pretty good! Includes the guitar chords.
The songs are:
(1) Amsterdam (2) ...

Well worth a look or twelve!
Hey everyone, kudos to not only Jim Beloff for this book, but also to Amazon for their speedy delivery, which made it all the way from USA to China 3 weeks earlier than Amazon even predicted! As for the book, "Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory" that is ukulele! WoW! I am literally amazed at what a difference it has made in my playing so far! I really was one of those players who never got past the ...

Scruggs Banjo review
This is definitely the package for those with a desire to learn the Earl Scruggs method of playing the 5 string banjo. It does not make you practice, but it does encourage you to do so. Great product!

Great Beginers tool
I have been playing the guitar on and off for over 10 years. I have never really gotten to a point that I can say that my skills were really great. Primarily I have taught myself to play. I have learned a few songs and played mostly cords, and tab.
I first got interested in arpeggio, or classical guitar, a couple of years ago. I have read a few lessons, from books mostly, and learned a ...

Fingerpicking Beatles and Expanded Edition: 30 Songs Arranged for Solo Guitar in Standard Notation and Tab13 reviews
The Beatles
Hal Leonard Corporation, 1996
Decent Arrangements and A Lot Of Fun!
The arrangements in this book are complex enough to be good sounding. They are also easy enough for an intermediate to play thru the songs without too much difficulty.
I taught myself how to fingerpick by using the Mark Hanson books (which are excellent). These tunes are not as complex as the arrangements in his books or Fingerstyle Guitar magazine. The tunes are challenging enough not to ...

The Best Songs Ever (Big-Note Piano)16 reviews
Hal Leonard Corporation, 1998
Just what I was looking for
This book is just the level I was looking for - not too hard and not too easy - since my level is what I call an intermediate beginner. The songs are great although traditional, not modern. My only complaints are that the book doesn't lie flat and I have to turn the pages during the songs. But, I am really enjoying this piano book.

Very comprehensive and easy to understand
Having a good musical ear, yet with very weak sight reading skills, I'm always searching for good books that can teach common blues licks/runs on the piano, while also explaining the "why" of how it works. This book is perfect. It can be used for a variety of things to learn:
--Licks/runs...there are hundreds of examples of great sounding, commonly used runs (as opposed to other books, ...

Speed Mechanics for Lead Guitar84 reviews

Must be good
I bought this for my 14yo, along with Metal Lead Guitar/Book and Cd (Vol. 1). They must be good because he leaves them all over the house after he's used them. They keep moving around, so he must be using them.
