This is a fake book that Scott developed specifically as the result of feedback from students and viewers of his TV shows. It was designed from the ground up to be a perfect fit with people who have watched Scott's workshops or television show.
It not only has GREAT piano tunes in it, but it also has chord diagrams for every chord used in a tune right at the top of each page!
At the beginning of every new tune there are two sets of chord diagrams, one basic, one more advanced, that show you exactly what notes are in each chord used in the tune. The more advanced charts show you commonly used substitutions that pros use to sound a little hipper rather than playing the basic chords.
It is a terrific educational tool to get you from "A to B" in a logical manner. It is something that makes this book truly unique compared to all other fakebooks.
With 95 of the best tunes pianists play on a regular basis and the larger music engraving that makes it easier to read, Scott recommends this book as a "staple" for anyones music library.
Oh, and one last thing... every tune is in the key of C! That makes things even easier because you'll tend to use many of the same chords over and over which really builds confidence in a hurry.
In summary, here are the main features:
- 95 tunes (with lyrics included)
- great standards and some holiday songs
- large engraving for easier reading
- basic and more advanced chord charts on every page on which a new tune starts
- all tunes in the key of C
One last thing... the lead sheet for every tune on Scott's "Just for Fun" audio CD can be found in this fakebook as well.
It makes a great companion product!
