DESCRIPTION:
Songs vary per instrument. Sixty of the best songs of the early rock era, all chosen from Rolling Stone magazine's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list. Also available: Rolling Stone Sheet Music Classics, Volume 2: 1970s--1990s. Similar editions are available arranged for easy guitar TAB, wind, and string instruments. In preparing this songbook, Alfred Music took great care to revisit those recordings, replacing incorrect arrangements with new ones that allow pianists and singers to perform the songs in the style that landed them on the Rolling Stone 500. The songs are from the 1950s to the '60s, arranged for piano/vocal/chords.
Fun and easy arrangements, terrible binding Andrew Whitaker First thing you should know about this (if you haven't gotten it from the other reviews) is that you need to rebind the book immediately after you purchase it.

I'm an Eagles and a Floyd fanatic so I jumped on it when I read the many positive reviews about how easy it was for beginners to play the piano using this book. I'm not disappointed either. Again, I encountered the same problem with the binding on this volume as with the second vo. Favorite midwestmegan This is one of my all-time favorite piano books!!! The song selections are awesome and the arrangements are well done. Some of the songs are fairly easy to learn while others are a little more challenging which is a great combination. If you enjoy any of the rock and roll classics from the 50s-60s, this book is for you. I have so much fun learning and playing these songs! Would definitely recommend!
