First 7 albums chords for wannabe Bruces

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 March 2020

Verified Purchase

As a fan of Bruce's having seen him in concert numerous times between 1985-2016, he has motivated me to pick up and learn to play the guitar in my 50 's. As usual, when I pick up a new interest, I invest in it quite heavily. The first one I bought although described as easy was anything but. Undeterred I added to my chord books with Greatest Hits and Tunnel of Love tie ins.

This work , spanning 7 albums is arranged by alphabetical song title. I haven't yet mastered barre chords so can't play all of the 76 songs contained in this book. For anyone who loves guitar and Bruce, this book is a good place to start. It was published in 1986 and the colour photos inside are all from the Born in The USA tour..

I love it

Descripciones muy generales de las canciones a nivel de acordes, si no conoces bien el lenguaje musical es un libro que se te hará complicado de entender.
La parte buena es el extenso repertorio que abarca.

Super Songbook

Reviewed in Germany on 14 October 2013

Ein sehr schönes und umfangreiches Songbook für Bruce Fans unter den Gitarristen. Eine m. E. schöne Zusammenstellung aus den ersten 7 Alben des Boss mit "76" Songs und "17" Zugaben werden präsentiert, worunter sich viele schöne Klassiker befinden. Abgerundet wird das ganze mit einigen schönen Farbfotos aus der Karriere des amerikanischen Peter Maffay und seiner tollen E-Street-Band.

Zu Beginn werden alle enthaltenen Chords im Griffbrett-Diagramm angezeigt, dazu oftmals zusätzlich Takt- und Geschwindigkeitsangaben zum Einstudieren mittels Metronom, falls der ein oder andere Song nicht so geläufig sein sollte. Teilweise wird auf besondere Anschlagsmuster und Pickingstellen hingewiesen. Darüber hinaus sind zu "jedem" Song auch noch die Noten vorhanden. Dieses ist leider kein Standard für Songbooks. Somit ist das Buch auch für fortgeschrittene Gitarristen, die gesamte Band und andere Musiker, die keine Gitarre ihr Eigen nennen, brauchbar. Aber auch Anfänger finden hier viele brauchbare Vorlagen, da Bruce bekanntlich mit Akkordfülle und Barregriffen (er gilt nicht als begnadeter Gitarrist, was meiner Symphatie für ihn keinerlei Abbruch gibt)oftmals gegeizt hat. Gefreut hätte ich mich z. B. bei The River oder No Surrender noch über Angaben zu den Blues-Harp (Mundharmonika) Einleitungen bzw. Zwischenspielen, wofür der Boss bekannt ist und was den Stücken m. E. eine besondere Würze gbt. Aber man kann nicht alles haben und zum Glück gibt es ja heute noch das Internet.

Daher gibt es von mir 5 Sterne und eine klare Kaufempfehlung. Nicht nur weil ich seit 30 Jahren ein Fan des Boss bin, sondern weil hier Preis und Leistung wirklich stimmen. Ihr erhaltet hier ein sehr umfangreiches Songbook, über 230 Seiten, mit einer Top-Ausstattung und das auch noch im Bühnen-/Notenständertauglichem DIN A4 - Format, wo man anderswo beinahe doppelt so viele Dollars oder Euronen investieren muß.

Sono tutte versioni semplificate della canzone normale,per me che non sono esperto è fantastico,ma chi volesse suonare la versione elaborata non può puntare a questo,le canzoni sono 94,7 album interi(GREETINGS FROM ASBURY PARK,THE WILD THE INNOCENT AND THE E STREET SHUFFLE SINO BORN IN THE USA) e 17 bonus.
Se volete uno con le canzoni complete prendete:

the best that's out there

Reviewed in the United States on 9 January 2009

OK, so it doesn't have guitar tab. Never mind. Its got a helluva lotta songs in it with the guitar chords I need and the lyrics. I'll just have to use my ears to get the actual guitar bits being played. Having said that, some of the songs do have the music notation for the guitar part. For example, the intro to Nebraska is scored. Now, what I did was learn some rudimentary music reading. Like, the key signature, and note values and where the notes sit on the stave. That now means I can work out the guitar picking in Nebraska with the aid of the music notation from this book (and my ears). Brill!

And no harp score for Nebraska! Woe is me! What shall I do? I know! I'll just have to work it out myself then won't I?

As for songs being in the correct keys, I'm not sure. For instance, Open all Night is scored in G. When I play along to that song, F# seems to be the key. And Nebraska is scored in D, but Spring plays it in Db. Whatever. This book still aids me with the chord sequences used.

Now, I rated it a five because, with one mouse click, I was able to look at sample pages so I knew what I was purchasing. It never claimed to be a guitar tab book.

I don't get people who don't research a product and then grizzle about it.

You won't find anything else better out there with this much material on Spring Brucesteen's music.
