Description
This is a beginning fake book for players new to “faking.” By using a fake book, musicians learn to “fake” an accompaniment to a melody, playing chords as indicated. This book is designed for those players just acquiring this important musical skill. It includes 100 favorite songs that belong in all musicians' repertoire library, including standards, pop hits, Broadway and movie songs, folk favorites, and much more. All the songs are in the key of C and include easy-to-read, large notation complete with lyrics. Chords have been simplified, but remain true to each tune.
