This book is chockful of great songs written in easy to play keys. I especially enjoy the Eagles, Springsteen, and Journey hits included in the book. Whiter Shade of Pale(Procul Harum) is easy to play,but captures the baroque feel of the original.When I hunt for piano books on the Internet, I use Dan Coates as a search parameter. He arranges great songs from all eras with enough complexity so that they don't sound like single note "fake book" arrangements.Only weakness is binding. If you want to play from this book, get it spiral bound at your nearest office supply store. Best $5 you'll ever spend !
I have started playing again after 45 years of just listening.. Now that I have more time on my hands I wanted to learn to play some songs that I love on my new digital piano. After 2 weeks of receiving this book and practicing, I am able to play some of the songs, although slowly. I am already playing Desperado, Drive, Eye of the Tiger, and Hotel California. The songs sound so nice I sometimes practice for hours. I had searched the internet and found this book to have more of the songs I loved than others, and at a decent price.
This is a great selection of classic rock hits from the 60's thru the 80's done in "easy piano" style by Dan Coates. Many of these 50 selections are the same as those in the Rolling Stones top 500 vol. 1 and 2. The selections I've played around with so far sound much like the original piece of music. They do take a while for this one year student of piano to master. A great piano sheet music investment.
It gets the job done, but I feel like it actually skews on the easy side for most of the songs. I know the word "easy" is in the title of the book, but I expected more than a single line of melody, and some backing chords.
I like Dan Coates' translations, he makes it easy to play yet beautiful-sounding. This book is great for beginners or intermediate (like myself) who have not played in a while.
I used to play piano and have an old keyboard that I pulled out of storage. I decided I needed some good music and this fit the bill.
This is an excellent assortment of classic rock / pop songs arrangements! I have less than a year's worth of piano lessons and these songs are legitimately able to be played by a beginner with some careful practice. Also, most of the songs I have tried, thus far, sound close to the originals and should give the beginning pianist great enjoyment in learning and playing the arrangements. I highly recommend this book.
Got this book for my wife for her birthday as she's been learning piano as an adult. She LOVED all the songs in this book, much better than the classical songs she usually has assigned by her teacher.
