2.0 out of 5 stars Indexing bad and voicing typically bad
Granted I'm far from being an expert in guitar or other instruments, but I wonder why the chords Orbison played are seldom the ones in the book. For example, why that form of G7th all the time, when it just doesn't sound good? And why did they transpose down a whole step on "Crying"? Watch YouTube and you see he doesn't play those chords. And then there's the indexing...

This review is from: The Definitive Roy Orbison Collection (Paperback)
Granted I'm far from being an expert in guitar or other instruments, but I wonder why the chords Orbison played are seldom the ones in the book. For example, why that form of G7th all the time, when it just doesn't sound good? And why did they transpose down a whole step on "Crying"? Watch YouTube and you see he doesn't play those chords. And then there's the indexing issue. What is the organization? By date? Semi alphabetic? It's kind of hard to find a particular song in the book, if it's in there at all.

It's a cool picture on the cover.

And Hal Leonard's Complete Beatles (the white monster) is pretty good, but this book left some things to be desired, and included some things to be avoided.

This review is from: The Definitive Roy Orbison Collection (Paperback)
My dad just received this songbook and it is great!!

The chords are correct! Everything is easy to read and play!!

My dad has been playing the guitar for over 50 years, so he knows his music. The only review on here said that the book was not good, wrong chords, etc. My dad said that this book is wonderful and loves it!! I have to say that I believe my dad when he says this because he does play the guitar daily and is great at it!! He asked me to write a review on this book for him so others would know how good the book is and buy it!!

Thank you Amazon!!
