5.0 out of 5 stars Carlton does not disappoint, April 19, 2004

By	Mr. Robert K. Mcculloch (Arkansas, United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Vanessa's songs are very creatively written. With this book, you can teach yourself all of the songs from her debut album Be Not Nobody. There are 11 songs including:

1. Ordinary Day
2. Unsung
3. A Thousand Miles
4. Pretty Baby
5. Rinse
6. Sway
7. Paradise
8. Prince
9. Paint It Black
10. Wanted
11. Twilight

The songs have some difficult rhythms, but overall the songs are not too complicated (I have been playing piano for 5 years, By The Way). Three of the songs are written in C Major. Guitar chords and piano chords are included, as well as vocals. This is a great buy! I love the CD, and now I can play all of the songs with it!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is great, July 21, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Vanessa Carlton: "Be Not Nobody" (Paperback)

I bought this book because I love Vanessa Carlton's music and wanted to play it myself. The book was wonderful because the song were at a different range of difficulty, some songs I could sightread, yet others I had to work on. This book is great for any Vanessa Carlton, piano playing fan.

I love that Vanessa's songs are more complex than a lot of modern pop music. That's definitly why I like her music!
