It was clearer then hall leonard's and it has the words of the songs in it.
And I know more songs that appear here then on hall's edition.
The book seems to be more addressed towards the adbvanced beginner - which suits me more.

anyway they have only 36 songs in common. So I might buy the "real" real book after all. since it has 400 songs.

I finally bought the "real" real book - hal leonard's I mean]]> Guitar Players Discussion itziks https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/real-book-of-jazz/#post-122541 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/real-book-of-jazz/#post-122532 Sun, 04 Sep 2005 10:00:46 +0000

There are other legal fake books - I have several of those. Yes, legal 'fake books' are often less comprehensive, but that's not always the case... several of the ones I have contain more tunes than the Real book (which has something like 400)

Leonard publishes other titles that are similar, like "The Real Jazz Fake Book", but there's only one "Real Book". When a band leader tells me we'll be playing from the Real Book, I always know which one to bring.]]> Guitar Players Discussion NoteBoat https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/real-book-of-jazz/#post-122501 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/real-book-of-jazz/#post-122498 Sun, 04 Sep 2005 02:08:49 +0000

I hear it mentioned once in a while.
What is it ? Is there a guitar specific issue ?

I saw there are number of editions. which is the better one ?

thanks There should be a different versions for concert pitch instruments (guitar, piano, bass, etc), Eb instruments (alto sax) and Bb instruments (tenor sax, trumpet). You'd probably want to make sure you get the concert pitch version.

Just curious - do they still make the "Eskimo Jazz" and "Bebop" books? When I bought my Real books 20 years ago or so, I think I got a set of four or five books.]]> Guitar Players Discussion dsparling https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/real-book-of-jazz/#post-122473 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/real-book-of-jazz/#post-122399 Sat, 03 Sep 2005 15:18:09 +0000
It's not guitar specific.

There are six editions. The last one (maybe two) are 'legal' - royalties have been paid to the songwriters... if it says Hal Leonard on it, it's legit. Each one has a slightly different selection of tunes, but some songs appear in all editions.]]> Guitar Players Discussion NoteBoat https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/real-book-of-jazz/#post-122399 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/real-book-of-jazz/#post-11427 Sat, 03 Sep 2005 14:19:09 +0000
