Excellent for Student Development
The Real R&B Book is an excellent resource for my piano students. The 'easy-to-read notation' and 'accurate lead sheets' make it ideal for developing reading skills and understanding chord progressions across a wide range of R&B classics. While explicit fingering isn't typically included in a fake book, the clear layout supports learning rhythm and melody effectively for intermediate players. Highly recommended for teaching!

Pure R&B Enjoyment!
As an adult learner, I absolutely love 'The Real R&B Book'! It's so much fun to play through these '265 classic hits' by 'legendary artists.' The 'easy-to-read notation' makes it achievable even for my weekend practice sessions, and the arrangements capture the feel of the originals. I finally feel like I'm 'sounding like the record' on songs like 'Ain't No Sunshine.' Highly recommend for pure enjoyment!
