Title: Great songs
Review: There were some really good songs in here to choose from to try to play. I am a beginner so I'm lost not their fault but my fault. I feel if you want to learn some of the '80s songs this would be a great book to get and the price is perfect not too much for what you're getting

Title: A good translation of Guitar music to piano
Review: I have gone through about a dozen songs so far out of this book.My first observation is how well the translation of guitar-heavy songs have been translated to the piano. I have been buying popular sheet music for decades. The bulk of the time I end up having to ad-lib in music to fill musical gaps so it sounds right. When you only get the music to the piano which ignores rhythm and lead guitar and singing it gets sparse when you are not a singer, like me.This book does EVERYTHING I have been doing in the past on my own. I may end up ad-libbing when I become more familiar, but I am enjoying having the music already being in place.So far the most obvious song I have tried which comes out very well from Guitar is "Jessies Girl" I started practicing it because I was curious how well a song that is total guitar gets notated in piano. It is an outstanding interpretation. There are a couple of spots I may ad-lib it anyways as I get more familiar with it.In contrast, what I found interesting is a couple of songs that are heavy keyboard to begin with seem more sparse in notation than the guitar interpretations. (Sara from Starship, One More Night fom Phil Collins, These Dreams from Heart). But it works just fine as it is because they are slow songs.An interesting thing I wanted to mention. I had the single sheet from "Escape" (The Pina Colada Song). The interpretation in this book is closer to my own Ad-Lib of it than the original single sheet I had.I was a teenager of the 80s and this is the music I enjoy playing for the most part. I would recommend this book to any of my friends who play piano as well. The selection is not bad, and some of the songs that were not my favorites in the 80s I may take up anyways for the sheer pleasure of reminiscing the 80s.

Title: Quite a few songs I like and wanted to learn for playing at parties
Review: More for beginners to intermediate players. Good for people with smaller hands who can't reach more than 7-8 keys with one hand. Some were a little simplistic for me, but overall, pretty true to the originals you heard on the radio in the '80s. Worth the money for the number of good songs in the book.

Title: It's my way back.
Review: I used to be a seasoned musician before I buckled under a lot of harsh negative feedback, and I've been thinking about getting back into it. Where to start?I began with this book because I more recently started getting into 80s music, and I find that the selection was well put together. Only the best of the best songs are in this. Another thing I like is that the arrangements are fairly easy, especially for someone as experienced as myself. (But be advised that this music might be a bit more difficult for new musicians.) Now I'm practicing one song in the hopes of making a comeback to music, and (maybe) being a bit more well liked.

Title: Not bad
Review: It's an OK collection. As someone who remembers the 80 well I feel like there could have been better choices. I have other books with better/easier arrangements too. But over all it's good to have.

Review: Me gusta comprar este tipo de libros con las pistas play-along para tocar con ellas, siempre los compro en papel con CD o con los audios descargables, en esta ocasión lo compre en este formato para ahorrar unos euros con respecto al mismo en formato papel.Pero creo que no volvere a comprar partituras en formato Kindle con play along pues los audios van incluidos en el libro, que por cierto solo me funciona en el Ipad y en el Iphone, los lectores Kindle de Mac y Pc no me reproduce el audio, asi que este formato a mi no me ha gustado por no poder descargarme los audios, ademas de que solo trae el audio en formato playalong, este tipo de libros suele traer dos tipos de audios, la cancion completa y otro con la pista en formato play along

Review: Has a load of tunes from the 80's, some that are not found on the internet, with a kindle fire allows for backing tracks to be played while you watch the music.Thanks.

Review: It's OK, but I would prefer a more advanced solo piano version with lyrics.
