Not true to instruments...,
By

This review is from: Once - Music From the Motion Picture (Sheet music)
I love the music from this movie, and I'm glad to have this book. I do have a pretty major complaint, though. The music seems to be untrue to the actual instrumentation of the songs. A bunch of the songs such as Gold and Say it to me Now are in Open E tuning, and the book just gives standard tuning chords. It's really frustrating on When Your Mind's Made Up, because you can tell the chord diagrams are different from what he's playing in the movie. Anyway, if you want to play this stuff with a pianist, its probably a good buy, but its not super helpful for the guitar parts.

Great music,

This review is from: Once - Music From the Motion Picture (Sheet music)
Once is an entertaining movie filled with great original piano and guitar music, and this book of sheet music is the perfect way to recreate the tunes yourself. High quality and easy to read, my wife can play the piano and I can still see the type well enough to play guitar standing behind the bench. If you like the music from the movie, then this sheet music is well worth the purchase price.

This review is from: Once - Music From the Motion Picture (Sheet music)
First, I primarily play the piano so this review is from that perspective. The arrangements are excellent and very close to what Marketa Irglova plays. The msuic has not been dumbed down at all which is nice when the original is such pretty music, especially with The Hill. I've picked out a few of the guitar parts but can't really review that as I'm such a novice guitarist. Hopefully Swell Season has more books in store for us with their Strict Joy release.
