5.0 out of 5 stars Hours of fun at the piano pretending to be Billy Joel, September 6, 2002
By M. Packham "Stuart" (Perth, Western Australia Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Pump out that Piano Man solo! That's why these books are good. There's no section too difficult, there's nothing held back. No stupid interpretations of melody lines - this is the real deal. In terms of sheer enjoyment, nothing beats playing transcriptions of songs, especially ones you like. So to sit down and play 'Piano Man' from start to finish exactly like Billy Joel (solo included), or 'New York State of Mind' with the jazzy intro and the beautifully voiced chords - it's a real treat.

Get this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT!!, October 19, 2002
Very good, especially if you're like me and you want the actual music played on the CD and not some sheet music editor's lame rendition. All music books should be like this! It's got the little intro that you hear at the beginning of "Piano Man" and the interludes in the middle of the song as well. It's worth it just for that. Yay for Amazon for carrying sheet music books!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Billy Joel Music Book on the Market By Far, January 10, 2000
By A Customer
This is so well done it makes me mad that there aren't many other books like it. I really wish they would have more editions so that i could learn more Billy Joel songs this way. It takes us through 15 songs just the way you hear it played by Billy himself, and even if you cant play this book through note for note (it is difficult stuff) right away, it helps with practicing music that is fun to play. The songs range from She's Got a Way and Just the Way You Are, to Streetlife Serenader and the great intro to New York State of Mind. A must buy for any Billy Joel fan who plays keyboards.
