5.0 out of 5 stars Play like Barry!!, July 29, 2003

By 

Jeff (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bee Gees Anthology (Paperback)

This book is great! You can: Play guitar, play piano, sing the lyrics....all from this book!

When I say that you can "play like Barry", I mean it. The Brothers have presented us with their well-remembered hits of their collection, and for each hit includes piano and guitar chords. Now, for any guitarist like me you're lucky to have illustrated guitar chords--not just the abbreviations and symbols. I love it when I play my accoustic guitar while going along with "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart"--sounds just like Barry's guitar playing!! The layout of the music is just flawless and unsurpassable.

And, finally, in the "About the Songs" section of the book, I love relooking at the descriptions of the Bee Gees' hits, where Barry, Robin and the never-forgotten Maurice Gibb made comments. The descriptions give you plenty of detail and I always learn something new reading them--for instance, Robin describes how the UK hit "My World" surprisingly became a hit--that motivates me on their music. What I'm trying to tell you is that the descriptions aren't like: "Yes, a great song indeed" and that's it. Not really.. For example, Barry's description of Stayin' Alive blew me away saying "Light fuse and stand well back"--like it was some explosive piece of music. That section just captivates my attention, and makes me replay their music.

This is one ultimate book that makes you play their hits without trouble! You're definitely missing out on this inspiring book if you don't think about buying it!! Believe me, it's worth your every penny.

This review is from: Bee Gees Anthology (Paperback)

Containing the music for piano, vocal and guitar for 43 songs to the year 1989, this is a must for any musician. All the biggest hits are here, including some lesser known, but worthy songs. All the Gibb Brothers make comments on each song and there is a bibliography at the end. Like their music? You'll enjoy this collection.
