What is a Fake Book?
When musicians are asked to play a song they've never played before, they "fake" it. One of the most valuable possessions any professional, amateur or hobbyist musician can have is a fake book that contains the melody line, lyrics and chords for hundreds and hundreds of songs. With access to the melody, lyrics and chords of a song, musicians can improvise their own arrangements.
200 songs recorded by one of the greatest rock groups of all time, arranged in fake book format (melody line, lyrics, and chords). Includes everything from their first U.S. tour through the last record album they recorded as a group. A tremendous addition to any musician's music collection! Melody line, lyrics, chords.
