Fretboard Logic SE: Volumes I & II Combined by Bill Edwards

Tony  says: I cant express the excitement I feel as I am getting to understand the guitar fretboard in a very real sense. My musical goals are now within reach and I have a way of getting there. At some point, while working through the second book, I will start putting together chord solos and working on finding a voice and style of my own... I decided to learn everything you offer in your books. Everything in your books has a useful purpose and I thank you for it. The comments from other customers in your books are NOT an exaggeration, they are right on target.

Aydn says: ... I was compelled to buy this book. ... This book provides the learning environment that works for me. You start by learning about the CAGED system, which I think is absolutely necessary for learning guitar chords and scales. I can honestly say that I'm a much better player and knowledgeable player because of this book and I reference it everyday to review how well I know my chord and scale names at any position along the fretboard. The book is presented in a manner for left and right brain folk. Theory and verbage on one half of the page and illustrations and pictures/finger locations on the other half of the page. This simple and effective presentation and the way in which the author progressively moves a student forward in the process of learning guitar is absolutely the best aspect of this book. I've only gone thru part I of the book, and the only negative thing I can think of about this book is this. Now that I learned chords and scales all the way up and down the fretboard, where's the songs for me to learn and apply my new found knowledge. You will not find songs to learn in this book. This book teachs how to play guitar, not play songs. The authors reasoning for this is due to the many different tastes a student has for music. This book is only intended to help prepare a student to learn songs on their own. The only other thing I would recommend w/ this book as I would w/ anything is make your learning fun and enjoyable. Supplement what you learn in this book by taking what you know and finding your favorite easy songs and/or exercises to learn to play as well. Develop yourself a practice routine that includes chords, scales, lead patterns, and modes, from this book and allow time to learn new songs/exercises (finger picking/alternate picking exercises)and/or review songs already learned. I state that this book is for beginners only because I'm a beginner myself, but others ... have rated this book as suitable for any level of play.

This Is the Ultimate Fake Book With over 1200 Songs for Keyboard, Vocal, Guitar, and All 'C' Instruments (Fake Book Series) by Hal Leonard

gets many many great revies:

One reviewrs says:  This book has a great selection of songs, covering a wide range of material. Great for weddings and other gigs, there are plenty of songs in here that should cover a variety of shows. This may not be the one and only book you'll ever need to cover all your gigs, but it will probably quickly become your most referenced source. This is a highly respected book among gigging musicians, and it will pay for itself many times over.

This new edition is updated with yet another selection of current and classic tunes. Included in each song is the melody line, the chords, and the lyrics written for piano, vocal, guitar, and all "B Flat" instruments. This book even includes charts for over 855 guitar chords, as well as 9 different classified song listings. Great collection, well worth the price. Highly recommended.

Another says: This is the first Fake Book I have ever owned. I have been using it almost daily for 9 months with my Hammond Organ, and I have been able to get some pretty amazing sounds for a beginning keyboardist. It includes a great variety of tunes, and I am continuing to discover new ones every day, it seems. Lots of show tunes and older tunes, but I am left wanting a few more pop/rock titles so I am ordering "Best Fake Book Ever" next. There truly are a LOT of songs, though, and I have to say it is a great book to have!!

Third one ...  It has songs from the 20s to the 90s in decade increments and they seem to be mostly top 40 at least for the 70s-90s. Don't know about the rest. There were also a mix of broadway tunes like All I ask of you from Phantom O the opera. There are also some Christian stuff in there as well as some Classical pieces.

THE DESCRIPTION STATES:  This fake book is a cornerstone for many musicians' libraries. With over 1200 songs in all styles of music, this third edition has been updated to include even more great songs and recent hits. From jazz standards to Broadway blockbusters and country classics to pop chart-toppers, this book has the songs you're looking for all in one convenient collection. It is comb-bound with locked tabs to ensure long-lasting durability.

Songs include: Alfie ** All the Things You Are ** Always ** And So It Goes ** Autumn in New York ** Beauty and the Beast ** Brazil ** Blue Skies ** Body and Soul ** Call Me Irresponsible ** Can't Help Falling in Love ** Candy ** Caravan ** Change the World ** Cry Me a River ** Duke of Earl ** Easter Parade ** Edelweiss ** Endless Love ** Everyday ** A Foggy Day ** Friends in Low Places ** Georgia on My Mind ** Heart and Soul ** Here's That Rainy Day ** How Deep Is the Ocean (How High Is the Sky) ** I Love Paris ** I Shot the Sheriff ** I'm Always Chasing Rainbows ** I've Got the World on a String ** The Impossible Dream ** Isn't It Romantic? ** It's Only a Paper Moon ** The Lady Is a Tramp ** Lazy River ** Let's Fall in Love ** Love Is Here to Stay ** Makin' Whoopee! ** Memory ** Mona Lisa ** Moon River ** Moonlight in Vermont ** My Funny Valentine ** My Heart Will Go On ** Oh, Pretty Woman ** ** Operator ** Piano Man ** Precious and Few ** Release Me ** Roxanne ** Satin Doll ** Small World ** Somewhere Out There ** Sophisticated Lady ** Speak Softly, Love (Love Theme from "The Godfather") ** Splish Splash ** Strawberry Fields Forever ** Summer in the City ** Tears in Heaven ** Ticket to Ride ** Unforgettable ** Waltz for Debby ** What'll I Do ** When I Fall in Love ** When You Wish Upon a Star ** You Are the Sunshine of My Life ** (You're So Square) Baby, I Don't Care ** and hundreds more!
