5.0 out of 5 stars Filled In The Gaps, April 18, 2007

By	Christopher Michael "takethekman" (Oakland, CA USA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

I wanted to play some of these arrangements on guitar, 'Bedshaped' and 'We Might As Well Be Strangers' in paticular. This book enabled me to fill in some of the minor tonality(I guess that's a word...you know what I'm saying...)adjustments to get just that right chord voicing; Not only was it useful in learning these songs, but also in composing original material; I had to learn a couple of new chords I really liked that have since inspired a new direction in songwriting, esp. for ballads. I would recommend this for guitarists, esp. for those who are interested in the chord voicing and progression styles of Keane. Alot of cool stuff to learn, but more importantly alot of stuff to be be inspired by.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent transcription!, May 24, 2008

By	Zachary Offenberger - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Too many times I've bought piano books to find they're secondhand transcriptions that don't match the music at all. This one is spot-on and really allows you to recreate the awesome music you bought it for. A must-buy for any Keane fan who is proficient at piano! All the tracks of the album, piano chords and parts, vocal lines, everything you could possibly want. I'm very glad I bought this, it has provided many hours of playing and insight into the brilliant mind of Tim Rice-Oxley.
