Excellent Teaching Resource for Rock & Theory
This 'Real Rock Book' is superb for my piano students! The clear, easy-to-read notation in 'Real Book' style is ideal for introducing chord theory and improvisation. Its concert pitch melodies are versatile, and the durable comb-binding makes it practical for student use on a music stand. A fantastic collection for building a rock repertoire and understanding lead sheets.

Reliable Gig Book with Solid Rock Hits
A solid addition to any gig bag. The 'Real Book' format with clear chord symbols and melody lines is exactly what you need for quick calls. Comb-binding holds up well on the stand, making page turns easy. While a few songs might be deep cuts, the majority are timeless rock classics that get requested. It's a dependable, performance-ready resource.

The Real Rock Book
This is a typical fake book written in the classic real book format. Some of the songs are a bit obscure, but there are some good ones. It would have gotten 5 stars if there were more well known songs were in it. I've used it at a few gigs. The chords are accurate and some songs have the solos or riffs written out. I wish more songs had the riffs written out. Overall a good buy.
