Favorite Standards: Piano Play-Along Volume 15 (Piano Playalong) [Paperback] Review

Was lured into purchasing three of this series of books by ads proclaiming they are the best chord melody books ever. Not so.

The arrangements are dry, unimaginative and bare bones. Suppose they figure they're doing one a favor by charting out the melody with some chords thrown in. Boring. Also suppose they're assuming the player will use the arrangements as a base from which to add enhancements. Whatever.

Look elsewhere for better arrangements, specifically Barry Galbraith, Bill Pilburn and the Jazz Guitar Standards: Chord Melody Solos from Mel Bay\Warner Bros.
