The Real Blues Book – C Instruments | 300 Classic Blues Songs for Piano, Guitar & Vocalists | Hal Leonard Fake Book with Chords & Melodies | Blues Sheet Music for Musicians, Students & Educators

Great book! A bit of bread but worth it. I got it not so much to play from but just to look at. Non-playing Blues fans should get it to sit with while you listen. You'll not likely hear anything not in this book.Take it along on your next four-day creep!

Hours of pleasure

There's plenty to like.There's one thing I expect in Real Books and didn't find in this one. The table of contents is usually listed twice: once in alphabetical order (as is done here), and another time by author/musician (that isn't done in the edition I bought). This wouldn't have changed my mind about buying the book--having so many tunes in one place is irresistible--but I was a little disappointed. If you read this, you won't have to be disappointed in the same way. If you use the Look Inside feature, you won't find the tunes grouped by musician either, so no one was trying to deceive me (it was only my own expectations). This experience is comparable to going to a decent restaurant, having a nice meal and finding out they don't have toothpicks (not finding a toothpick actually bothers me a little more than missing the second version of the TOC.)I haven't bought a Real Book since the mid-90s. If you know when this changed, or if you know that it's still being done on other Real Books, please comment. I'm curious.

If you play blues, get this book. Since it's blues, ultimately you'll just change everything around, but this gives you the basic chords, the melodies and can save a lot of time.

I have both the Kindle and spiral version of this book. I have also given this book as a gift. This book has simple versions of blues standards, which fit on one or two pages, so that readers can see the entire score when sitting on a music stand. The book also contains the lyrics to each song. Overall, I recommend this book for beginning guitar players, because the notation is so simple and fairly easy to read. My only complaints are that the spiral version falls apart easily, if you treat it too roughly in the rehearsal room or blues club. The Kindle version is nice because you can easily enlarge each page, but you cannot go to the second page of a score in an enlarged format. I recommend both versions.

Great book but be forewarned that real books are often written in keys designed to accompany horns, so if you’re a guitarist there are more than a few songs in Bflat, Eflat, etc. overall nice compilation of blues tunes

I've always enjoyed the Real Book series. This one doesn't disappoint. You might want to get a chord dictionary if you're a beginner, but otherwise it's spot on.

A great foundational assemblage of a wide variety of blues Classix as well as many songs I haven’t seen previously. The only improvement would have been lyrics along with the songs.

Tutto come da descrizione!!! Consigliato

Bit of a mess the songs & chords. Not other book to find which is better.

Semble être un très bon livre, mais je l’ai retourné puisque ce n’était pas un livre pour piano.

Die Sammlung all der Blues Classics ist schlicht genial. Wer Blues liebt und spielt, muss dieses RB haben.

Good blues included
