Progressive Rock Keyboard: Hal Leonard Keyboard Style Series [Paperback] Review

I don't why anyone has'nt written a review for this book yet. Its perfect, and the accompanying CD is so helpful to help learn the rhythms of progressive rock keyboard. I would greatly recommend this book if you are sick of playing yankee doodle or any other book with boring sheet music. Contained in the book is an adequate description of the genre and presents perfect examples that you can learn. I found this book very satisfying and not too hard. I also have the rock keyboard and find that one great as well. So do buy these books.

R&B Keyboard: The Complete Guide with CD! (Hal Leonard Keyboard Style) [Paperback] Review

R&B has always had a certain appeal to me, maybe it's just because it's something different, but this book breaks it down into an easy to understand format.As a mainly classical piano player, that is all I really feel comfortable playing, even though my listening enjoyments fill a broad spectrum. I have a few of the other books in this series and find them all great! This book includes important information about scales and modes, voicings, chords, inversions, comping, harmony, and much more.It goes through early R&B, Motown soul, Memphis soul, Philly Soul, Funk, Disco, R&B Ballads, Dance/Pop, and even into Neo-Soul.This book covers any generation that you may have grown up in and brings something new to the table for those just starting.The book moves quickly but provides the information that is important for those of us looking to play. It comes with a very handy CD which allows to hear what it's supposed to sound like. I highly recommend this book.
