Although this is one of the best selling fake books of all time, I need to warn you that it was written and developed purely for professional musicians who need to go out and work gigs for a living.
Because of that the tunes, although great ones, are pretty advanced chord-wise.
I just wanted to give true beginners a heads up that this one is fairly advanced, although a great book.
Since the 1970s, musicians have trusted this book 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 publishing company has put together the first legitimate and legal editions of these books ever produced. Every conscientious musician 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!
