This is such a great book to go with such a great song! The illustration is wonderful as well. I definitely recommend it for little ones.             Guitar World Presents: Dimebag Darrell's Riffer Madness (Guitar World Presents)12 reviews Dimebag Darrell, Nick Bowcott Alfred Publishing Company, 2003 Hell, yeah! I first met "Diamond" Darrell in 1984 when he was only 17, and giving guitar lessons at Mansfield Music. I'd finally decided I really wanted to PLAY guitar, and not just bang on it. They tried several teachers, classical, and a country teacher. It just didn't work out, so the owner told me he had one more teacher, a kid with his own band. In walked a skinny kid with the biggest electric frizz ...             Dan Coates Complete / Advanced Piano Solos13 reviews Dan Coates Alfred Publishing Company, 1999 Dan Coates - Advanced As a professional pianist, I appreciate the fine arrangements by Dan Coates in his Dan Coates Complete/Advanced Piano Solos. These arrangements are very good and I can use them in any venue. His arrangements sure save time for me -- I can simply perform any of his work as written and don't have to rearrange anything. This is an excellent book.             Just Standards Real Book, C12 reviews Warner Bros. Publications Alfred Publishing Company, 2001 Hard to do better than this for oldies I just started playing piano for an oldies singer. 90% of the stuff we do comes out of this book. 250 songs can't possibly cover everything, but these songs were chosen VERY well. The chords are "interesting" (not just vanilla major/minor/7th that you get in some books), although a few songs have chords that are clearly wrong, so avoid sight-reading on the job if you can. My singer owns an ...             Classic Guitar Technique Vol 2 (Classic Guitar Technique)16 reviews Aaron Shearer Alfred Publishing Company, 1985 Great book for bebinners This book offers enough exercises to obtain a well practiced hand before moving into harder pieces. Other books seem to offer you building blocks, then show you the pyramide, but miss connecting the two. Shearer does an excellent job of helping all the pieces come together.             Josh Groban17 reviews Josh Groban Alfred Publishing Company, 2002 Fantastic Voice...Fantastic Arrangement I am not nearly as gifted in the vocal department as Josh is, however, I do play the flute, and after getting hooked on his cd, I got this book. The wonderful things about this book is that since the melody is there, I can play the melody. The songs are in an easy enough key, and the notes are never out of reach. Josh Groban is young still, and I simply can not wait to see what his voice will be ...             Art of French Horn Playing (Art of)12 reviews Philip Farkas Alfred Publishing Company, 1956 This is indeed the french hornists' bible! This book is my favorite of all time-- and for a teenager, that may seem strange. I have played horn for about four months, and this is my reference for any issues from technical problems, to practice advice, to encouragement and warnings. Philip Farkas speaks in a way that I love-- he offers frank advice and talks to the reader in a voice that clearly states that he is a fellow hornist, a friend ...             Nurtured by Love: The Classic Approach to Talent Education14 reviews Shinichi Suzuki Alfred Publishing Company, 1986 Life Changing Book This book revolutionized my life. I visited a Suzuki flute instructor and fell in love with this method. I saw how excited the children were about learning and how much joy they had. When I read the book I understood why. Dr. Suzuki has a mastery over how children respond to love and encouragement. Reading the stories in here about patience, love and encouragement changed the way I taught flute ...             Art of Saxophone Playing31 reviews Larry Teal Alfred Publishing Company, 1963 Great book This book is a staple among saxophonists of all veins (jazz, classical, and anything else). It is a must-have, and for good reason. It gives insight in to every aspect of being a saxophonist, including some brief but helpful information on doubling. Some chapters are very in depth, though others are less so. A great find and worth every penny.             Together in Rhythm: A Facilitator's Guide to Drum Circle Music (Book & DVD)12 reviews Kalani Alfred Publishing Company, 2004 Great Intro to Drum Circles! I have really enjoyed this book and video. Kalani explains various methods in the book, but it's very helpful to watch him execute them on the DVD. I even like the section of the DVD where he plays various instruments to demonstrate them. Being a very amateur percussionist, I had never thought of some of the techniques he demonstrates.             Charlie Parker Omni Book C10 reviews Alfred Publishing Company, 1982 Great Buy for any sax player I got this for my upcoming lessons in college and so far its great. I play alto sax and its alot of fun to be able to play along with bird. The only thing the book dosen't have is the recordings. Something from his verve years should cover just about everything though, I put a link on here for a cd collection. Theres some stuff that he recorded with savoy as well but most of it should be in the ...             The Essence of Afro-Cuban Percussion and Drum Set: Includes the Rhythm Section Parts for Bass, Piano, Guitar ...10 reviews Ed Uribe Alfred Publishing Company, 1996 masterpiece Really a masterpiece! It learns you everything about afro cuban drumming/percussion. I like especially the background information and it pays a lot of attention to playing together. Most afro cuban methods don't learn you anything about playing together, this method really does. It will give you lesson material for years!             Beginning Autoharp Instruction Book6 reviews Bonnie Phipps Alfred Publishing Company, 1983 Finest Autoharp Instruction Publication on the Market Today If you only buy one Autoharp Instruction Book, this is the one you need to get. It is very easy to understand. You will be playing in minutes. I have several Autoharp Instruction Manuals, but not one can compete with this book. Everthing you need to know, is located in the book. It's a great book and well worth waiting for.             Advanced Techniques For The Modern Drummer: Coordinating Independence As Applied To Jazz And Be-bop With Cd ...9 reviews Jim Chapin Alfred Publishing Company, 2002 Excellent book for learning independence This book is designed with the jazz drummer in mind, but the exercises will help all players develop independence. The cymbal / hi-hat pattern is pretty consistent through the entire book book - the dotted 16th pattern that is common in be-bop. This means that the right hand is doing the same thing in pretty much every exercise, assuming you are right handed. Despite this, the exercises can be ...             The Music of The Eagles Made Easy for Guitar10 reviews Alfred Publishing Company, 1983 Great Book I just received this book and I am very impressed. I have only been playing the guitar for just a short while and still taking lessons. I like the way this book is laid out and easy to follow. Anyone that knows the Eagles' songs and know the basic chords can play the songs in this book. I am glad that I bought this book and recommend this to any beginner or advanced guitarist. It is ia fun ...             Cycle of self Empowerment11 reviews Dom Famularo Alfred Publishing Company, 2000 Success = The Cycle of Self Empowerment It's been some time since I read, The Cycle of Self Empowerment but I can still clearly remember many of the inspiring stories and step by step tips that Dom shared in this excellent book. I have read a number of self help books and Dom's book covered so many aspects of becoming a success: a success as a person and a success in achieving one's professional goals. Dom has traveled extensively and ...             Dream Theater Metropolis: Scenes from a Memory (Authentic Guitar-Tab)9 reviews Alfred Publishing Company, 2000 A musician's guide to songwriting Where I really learn from Dream Theater is when I read this score while the CD is playing. Because, after all, this book really is a very thorough score for the album, allowing you to watch at least two of the parts in action (guitar and voice), plus the occasional piano part written out. Since I play both piano and guitar, and sing, it's like having a partial orchestration provided for my ...             Modern Chord Progressions8 reviews Ted Greene Alfred Publishing Company, 1985 One of my favorite music books! With the purchase of "Modern Chord Progressions" a few weeks ago, I completed collecting all of Ted Greene's amazing publications. His approach to writing may be considered a bit unorthodox, or dated, to some as they were originally written in the 1970's using less sophisticated publishing techniques (For example, all of the chord diagrams are filled in by hand and there are notes and arrows ...             Guitar Chord Encyclopedia (Handy Guide)8 reviews Steve Hall, Ron Manus Alfred Publishing Company, 1993 Good solid chord book This book is a good reference for all the basic voicings of every chord. If you want jazz chords (or any other genre of music) this book won't give it. If you don't have a chord reference book, or are unhappy with the one you have, this is the book you want. The only drawback I found was I thought I was buying the spiral bound edition (for ease of use). This was not the case. I was ...             Joe Pass: Virtuoso Standards, Songbook Collection Authentic Guitar-Tab Edition (Virtuoso Series)10 reviews Roland Leone Alfred Publishing Company, 1998 the fantastic Joe Pass ! I had heard Joe Pass. This book give me the opportunity to approach modestly his art. And better feel the beauty.
