If you are shopping for your first fake book, we strongly recommend that you start with one of the first 3 books listed: The Piano Guy’s Favorites & Holiday Songs, Scott The Piano Guy Favorite Piano Fake Book Vol. 2 or The Piano Guy's First Fake Book for Kids. All three of these books include chord diagrams. The other fake books do not.
If you choose one of the other terrific fake books that we carry that do not contain chord diagrams, we suggest you also purchase a chord diagram book. This will allow you to figure out the notes that need to be played for the chords contained in fake books that you do not already know.

By improvising with the chord symbols, players can fake their own arrangements of the songs, and many selections include suggestions for vocal harmonies in cue notes.
