Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Could you get almost all of Pat's compositions in one easy to follow bookwith album cover art, notes and details on the compositions.This is thereal deal:chord changes over guitar lines (no tab).A real benefit ofthis book is looking at the chord structure and form that Pat uses to buildeach song.Of all the "guitar things" I've bought over theyears, this ranks as one of the most useful.Thanks Pat.

Jazz Standards (Paperback Songs) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ever start singing a show tune you'd just heard in a furniture store, and get stuck on a line?"Hide your heart from sight, lock your dreams at night, it could happen to you..."That's where this book comes in.It gives you words and melody line for 100 songs and these are strictly A-list of the Great American Songbook (plus some bossa nova, a nice touch), with no filler.Put together the 10 books you've been allowed to take on your Desert Island trip, then slip this one in your back pocket.

As others have pointed out, it's not really suited for instrumentalists.But that, along with the fact that you can probably find all this material on the Internet, is undoubtedly what allowed the publisher to offer this collection at such a low price.
