Fingerpicking Cohen's songs in the style of Robinson,
By Simon Breen (Redding, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fingerpicking Leonard Cohen (Paperback)
Fingerpicking Leonard Cohen is a nice music book for guitarists who are a little more advanced. The book includes tablature for each of the songs as well as musical notation. Preceding each song are the lyrics, however, the lyrics are not included in the music notation so if you want to sing along than you have to have already heard the song before. The only complaint I had about the book was that I wanted to play the songs exactly the way Leonard Cohen plays them on his recordings and you won't get that with this book. The songs have been reinterpreted by the author, Marcel Robinson, into a more complicated and unique form which sounds like both the guitar and singing notes interwoven for the guitar, so what you get are songs that I believe are meant to be instrumentals. Songs include Avalanche, Bird on a Wire, Came So Far for Beauty (piano transcribed for guitar), Chelsea Hotel #2, Famous Blue Raincoat (a beautiful version), Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye, Lover Lover Lover, Seems So Long Ago, Nancy, Sisters of Mercy, Story of Isaac, The Stranger Song, Suzanne, and Winter Lady. I would say this book of songs is a must own for Cohen fan guitarists, although I wouldn't recommend it to beginners.
