Unfortunately, when I purchased this book last week, that feature was not working for any items -- at least not on MY computer! So, I read a couple of customer reviews, which are always very helpful, and based on other books I have from the Hal Leonard company, I purchased this item.

Although one reviewer mentions the easy-to-play piano parts and how the melody line is written out so you can sing along, this is NOT the case. This is not sheet music. It is lyrics and guitar chords ONLY.

The first one to two measures of the melody line of each song are provided at the top of the page. However, if you don't know the song, this is no help. As another reviewer has suggested, you will likely find audios for those songs with which you are unfamiliar on the Internet. For what it is, it is a nice book, handy size, lots of songs. Just not the cowboy song book for me.

This leaves the dilemma of how many stars? I will select 3, but I am biased due to my disappointment. However, my feeling of disappointment is also biased, as I blame myself for not completing my usual painstaking and comprehensive research before clicking the BUY button. But, should I be blamed for this? Need I carry this guilt forever? The dog is staring at me now, nose twitching. I obviously reek of failure A lot of music books lack items that allow the rank amateur to get a foothold on the material.

That is a nice advance over many song books. At the same time, the authors have included a very nice mix of traditional and silver screen cowboy songs in the collection--a little something for almost everyone! Recommended in two ways. I am thoroughly enjoying this collection of music.

It has good piano accompaniment that isn't too difficult yet neither too simple to play and the melody line is written out to enable one to sing along. It just kind of makes one want to get on a horse and ride "Along the Navaho Trail. And it has a good version of "The Yellow Rose of Texas. It is just plain enjoyable. The book has some great songs in it. I would recommend this book to any body that likes the old cowboy songs.

While I now like to listen to classic music, I spent a little time on the family farm when I was rather young. One of my uncles there had phonograph records of some of the cowboy songs and I would play them on the old record player and also played them one fingered on the piano. One person found this helpful. I got this for my wife who plays the guitar. Then she tells me she doesn' know half of the songs. But I think it is great. Anyway you can you tube any of the songs to listen to see how they go.

When it comes to music I am an old cowboy at heart. This book contained a song, Oklahoma Hills, that my Dad used to sing in the 's. It was a great happy surprise. Older songs but still good.

As a book for the Kindle, not so much. I have seen other reviews of books in this series, criticizing the size, the format, etc. Personally, I like these books; I like the smaller size and the chords and lyrics only format of the songs. I own a copy of the paperback edition of this book. So I thought I would get the Kindle edition in order to have a copy on my Kindle for easy access to a bunch of songs to play and learn. I was so disappointed I returned it for a refund. It is not the size that is the problem, I have a Kindle Fire HD and it displays the pages large enough to see easily.

No, it is just that this looks like a sloppy scan of a book that was thrown together just to try to cash in on the ebook market. The cover looks fine, but the title page literally is a black and white scan of the title page of the book with the cover torn off.

Сведения о продавце

The reader can see the torn page in the image; they didn't even edit it to make it look better. After that, the pages look like they were hastily scanned from an old, dogeared copy some one left in Hal Leonard's bathroom. The scans aren't clean, they look like 3rd or 4th generation photocopies with marks and spots etc.

They aren't even lined up properly and in more than one instance lines of text are cut off, obscuring the lyrics and chords of the songs themselves. I understand that a Kindle book is basically just a scan of a physical book, but one would expect the publisher to at least start with a decent copy with clean pages. This is a good book in paperback format, otherwise save your money.

Chords seem to be very accurate which is a pleasant surprise.

Often I find books to tell you to play weird chords based on a piano transcription. Not this book - they tell you where a capo is needed. Love the small size as it fits perfectly in my gig bag. Great selection of songs. For a small price getting 80 songs is pretty sweet. One person found this helpful. I think this is a great collection of songs in a great format.

I disagree with the previous reviewer who preferred the larger format, standard sheet music sized books. I think the 6x9 inch size which is even stated in the item's title is great for throwing in a gig bag and carrying around. Granted, the glued binding makes it harder to keep open than some other formats, but with a little bending, it stays open just fine. After years of transcribing songs myself, or getting inaccurate versions off of the internet and carrying around a big binder full of printouts, I found that this collection of Hal Leonard chord songbooks in small format is perfect for me.

If you like having the lyrics and accurate chord transcriptions this is not note-for-note transcription, but chords only in a portable format to bring to gigs or parties, then this book and the others in this series are for you. It's got a good song selection but the version I have really needs to be spiral bound. You can't use a traditionally bound book to play music from.

Print is too small if you have tri-focals! Also, due to the small size of the book it's hard to keep it open to the song you want to play.

I'm not impressed with the variety of songs either. It's okay, but I'm not really satisfied. Great material with a fine mix of songs from the 60's to the 90's. Good mix of easy and challenging songs, too. The diagrams are clear. But this is a small thick book, which makes it a little hard to read from a distance while playing, and not the best fit for a music stand. But I'm satisfied and glad I bought it.
