J.R.M.30! Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 So what does one recommend in regards to songbooks and tabs. I recommend the Beatles #1, it says it's official but it is NOT a note for note transcription. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.R.M.30! Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 Wow no answer, I guess their are a lot of self taughts out there, a lot of mono-learners indeed! I learned guitar chords from E-Z method book, which is rather old. I can't remember who's it by, sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.R.M.30! Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 Why Steve Joshly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killatine Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Well "Steve", I think maybe, just maybe, JR wanted (gasp) an OPINION, which we can then either embrace or ignore. Thats how song suggestions, book sugesstions, movie suggestions (see a pattern here?) work, and maybe, just maybe, we try something a little out of our comfort range based on a endorsment by, oh, lets say, a FORUM LEGEND who, it might appear on the surface anyway, might have a vast experiance that they would like to share. Do we all have diffent tastes? Of course. Do we want to eat baby food all our lives and never try a burrito? Or even steak? The fact we have diff tasts is not a reason to limit ourselves, its a reason to expand our knowledge and experiance. Like DEm00ns "explore music" thread, diversity is the key to understanding and acceptance. So, Steve, what a good songbook? I personally cant play, so I dont know how "good" they are, but I own "Classic Rock", "Picture Chords" and "The Beatles best". Classic Rock had a lot of good songs in it, I just cant speak to the accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdgm Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Indeed...could be an interesting thread...? Well there is Mel Bay of course, and I believe even a 'guitar for dumMies'- let's get this right. I could recommend 'The Guitar Handbook' by Ralph Denyer as a very good reference. Just buy a few books that look like the sort of thing you want and take from them what you can get. The monstrous 5-volume 'Rock Performer's Guitar Method' by Jim Gleason is still available and can even be downloaded. Plenty of stuff out there.
