This book features larger notation than usual in fake books, and uses simplified harmonies and melodies. All songs are in the key of C, and there is an introduction with basic instructions in playing from a fake book. A very good choice for anyone familiar with basic chord structure, looking for a fake book that is easier to handle! Highly recommended, I always use this with my own students as an excellent means for learning improvization at the keyboard. - RV

How To Play From A Fake Book
by Blake Neely

$16.95

If you have never played from a Fake Book, and need some help with identifying chords, learning left-hand patterns, etc., this is a very good book for getting you started.

How to Play From A Fake Book is designed for the keyboard player who would like to learn to create arrangements (and accompaniments) using only a melody line and chord symbols.
This book will teach you the necessary skills. The materials which are presented by example and for practice are taken from popular and show music, but the principles work equally well for any kind of music.

An excellent book for the adult student enjoying home-study at the piano or keyboard, without the help of a teacher. The conscientious student will certainly progress in playing ability by following this clear and comprehensive approach. Highly recommended.
