The books have the melody. If you are good enough to do without fine. Each piece takes me about 10 minutes. In 2 hours you have enough to fill a set easily.

I know guys here would take it to a DAW, add the signature licks, bring the organ in on exactly the 22nd bar 3rd beat just like the Band did when they recorded a live performance on the Isle of Wight after drinking 7 pints of warm guiness during a hailstorm that lasted 10 minutes and shorted out the bass player's wiring and messing with everyone's bandana. Oh well.

I'm sure the original impresario did Scarborough Fair totally different from the way the wife plays it on the flute with me on keys. He probably wore a hat with wee bells and was starving to death and the troubadours with him were busy picking pockets. I never felt the need to recreate the period to that degree, anyway there were no women allowed then. Music was a man's game. See how far we've evolved. I cook, she works, I let her play instruments and she votes.

I'd better go and make brunch or else...

The only good thing about going deaf is the wife can't give me the silent treatment.....LOL



John, the books cost a fortune! I was looking at the book on Amazon for disk #23 (Just Classic Rock). It retails on Amazon for over $100! How easy is it to figure out where the actual lyrics should be placed by looking at one of the online free libraries (say www.ultimateguitar.com for instance)?
