There still are Fake Books but they are not by PG Music, instead they are by Norton Music. I call them Fake Disks because the used to come on floppy disks. They are now instant download, but I still call them disks because I don't know what else to call them.

Chord progressions of popular and unpopular songs, appropriate style suggested for each song, and with no melody or lyrics.

I do them with 'off the shelf' music books so you can open the book, load the BiaB file and play along if you don't know the melody.

On each of the following linked pages there is a complete song list and one or more "free samples". For the free samples, looked for the linked titles in the song lists.

Complete listing of my fake 'disks' are here:
