(Fake Book). The Real Books are the best-selling jazz books of all time. Since the 1970s; musicians have trusted these volumes to get them through every gig; night after night. The problem is that the books were illegally produced and distributed without any copyrights or royalties paid to the master composers who created these musical canons. Hal Leonard is very proud to present the first legitimate and legal editions of these books ever produced. You and your customers wont even notice the difference...the covers look the same; the engravings look the same; the songlist is nearly identical; and the price remains fair even on a musicians salary! But every conscientious musician and music store owner will appreciate that these books are now produced legally and ethically; benefitting the songwriters that we owe for some of the greatest music ever written! 400 songs; including: Aint Misbehavin * All or Nothing at All * Along Came Betty * Cheek to Cheek * East of the Sun (And West of the Moon) * Funkallero * H H * Ive Got the World on a String * Ive Got You Under My Skin * The Jive Samba * The Lady Is a Tramp * Milestones * Moonlight in Vermont * A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square * On a Clear Day (You Can See Forever) * Samba De Orfeu * Stormy Weather (Keeps Rainin All the Time) * Things Aint What They Used to Be * The Very Thought of You * Violets for Your Furs * Watermelon Man * and more.

The chords are very close if not exact. It is so rare that one of these books actually nail the chords better than your ear can. This is one of the few guitar chord books I have used. and not had to go to my ear to get a better sounding rendition. Worth it. Small. cheap. easy. accurate. Why cant they all do this? Its not rocket science. I wonder if copyright issues prevent accurate published renditions. or is it laziness. etc...? Who knows.....but this one is good!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Sting is the ManBy RenardThis is a great book. What makes it so is Stings style of writing. You can tell which ones He wrote himself and which ones were heavily influence by his working with Andy Summers and Dominic Miller (those are the tough ones). Many of the top hits in this book are easy and will make you feel good about your "guitar playing" self.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Not a big fan of chord books and stings songs are intricate enough to make this a choreBy c crabbsIt was a little better than using chordie. You either have to be or make yourself familiar enough with the song to create a reasonable version or your listener wont realize which song you are playing.
