How To Play From A Fake Book

by Blake Neely

This book helps you get the most out of these wonders of music we call fake books! Starts with simpler chords and progresses gradually, providing clear step-by-step instructions. You'll learn chord spellings and standard chord voicings as well as left hand accompaniment patterns. Uses dozens of standard and current popular tunes for teaching and practice material.

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.

How To Play From A Fake Book is an excellent book for the adult student enjoying home-study at the piano or keyboard. The conscientious student will certainly progress in playing ability by following this clear and comprehensive approach. Highly recommended.
