I am guessing a 3 out of 5 rating where 5 is HARDEST.not very fancy arrangements; but for the 1st time I have been able to get down a song in a few days of part timepracticing. much repetition of patterns especially in similar verses. But who cares.I rather be able to play a song then to try and appear to be some kind of virtuoso.If I had had these 50 years ago when I was still taking JAZZ lessons; I am sureI would have stuck to SOLO JAZZ rather than doing rock.I finally feel that I have been able to make use of what I learned 50 years ago.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy BenGreat classic songs.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Good arrangementsBy mel reevesYes; these are "simple" arrangements but they serve as great sketches for fuller arrangements that can be developed from the great work Jeff has done here. Good harmonies and good selection of melodies.
