Summary of This Sheet Music/Method/Book
This collection brings together 101 essential hits performed by major names in Rock and Pop, in an edition designed for musicians who want to get straight to the point. Each piece is presented as vocal sheet music (melody line) along with a guitar accompaniment based on chord diagrams, a practical layout for singing, accompanying yourself, and leading an acoustic session.
The content covers a wide range of styles and eras: from rock classics to pop hits, including more soul or Britpop tracks. Among the songs offered are "Alive" (Pearl Jam), "Brothers In Arms" (Dire Straits), "Clocks" (Coldplay), "Common People" (Pulp), "Englishman In New York" (Sting), and "Le Freak" (Chic). Enough to build a solid repertoire for the stage, lessons, auditions, or simply the pleasure of playing at home.
In addition to the sheet music, some songs come with a short history, enriched with black and white photos. A real bonus for placing the tracks in their context and enriching the musical approach (phrasing, intention, style), while maintaining a compact and easy-to-consult format.
