Oasis Complete Chord Songbook (2009 Revised Edition) Lc

This book is great it covers every album from 'Definitely Maybe' to 'Dig Out Your Soul' and it provides the correct chord symbols with chord boxes showing you the fingerings for each chord. It describes the songs as being 'specially arranged from actual recordings, in the original keys' and I can't disagree with that, the fingerings are spot on. Symbols are placed above the lyrics so you know exactly where the changes come. It is laid out very well and tells you the order of how songs are played (Intro, verse, bridge, chorus, interlude/instrumental, outtro, coda etc) The book spans every Oasis album song from 'Acquiesce' to 'You've Got The Heart of A Star'. Covers of 'Hey Hey, My My', 'Cum On Feel The Noize', 'Helter Skelter, 'Heroes, 'I am The Walrus', 'My Generation' and 'You've Got To Hide Your Love Away' are all included. There are no really early songs like 'See The Sun' just songs from their commercially released nine albums.This is very nit-picky but It didn't have 'Let Forever Be'. Admittedly it was released as a 'Chemical Brothers' song but it was sung and co-written by Noel and should be included in a 'complete' Oasis chord/songbook. Noel's cover of 'Slade's' 'Merry Christmas Everybody', 'To Be Someone', 'There Is A Light That Never Goes Out' and 'This Guy's In Love with You' are not there. Pernickety but I just wanted to let people know who might have been expecting these songs. It goes without saying though that classics like 'Live Forever', 'Wonderwall' and 'Don't Look Back in Anger' are all included. The book also lets you know if/when and where a capo is needed and informs you of any special tunings.If you're an Oasis fan then you'll know all about their songs but this book really does offer something for everyone. The 'mad 'fer it' rockstar wanting to bash out 'Live Forever', 'Acquiesce' or 'Cigarettes and Alcohol' in their garage are given their fair share of fun. It also has those highly addictive, easily playable acoustic songs like 'Talk Tonight', 'Those Swollen Hand Blues' and 'Let There Be Love' which I play and sing along to all of the time. Even Liam songs are included, yes even 'Little James'! 'Songbird' is there, a very simple song but just so damn nice to play.It gives fingerings for the electric versions but if you have an acoustic then you can just look at the chord symbol and play the basic chord given. E.G ' The opening chord for 'Be Here Now' is named as a B5 (7-9-9-x-x-x) played on the 7th fret. Obviously this wouldn't sound good at all on an acoustic so I just play a B or B7 which sounds just great. There are not too many barre chords so that will be a relief for many beginner players and chord fingerings are generally pretty easy. Having said that songs like 'Married With Children' and 'All Around The World' do give your left hand a good workout re barre chords. Noel does seem to throw a spanner in the works sometimes with some odd shapes/progressions here and there like Fsus2 in 'Underneath The Sky' or the very drawn out intro to 'The Masterplan'. This book won't tell you how to perform the solo from 'Don't Look Back in Anger' or 'Live Forever' etc as the book is more for strumming and there are no fully tabbed versions for the finger-picked solos, it only provides the chord names and progressions.I would say songs can seem a bit repetitive, using similar chords but that's Noel Gallagher's style, it's not the books' problem. It is not a huge repertoire of songs compared to others I've seen with less than 130 original Oasis songs but again not the book's problem and I think 130 is plenty!The book comes with some black and white pictures of the band in various places around the world which is a nice added bonus. I use it all the time and it has certainly promoted and excelled my guitar playing abilities. There is a relative tuning guide at the back of the book along with a discography and filmography.Noel says 'he's an average guitarist who only knows 11 chords'. I know you'll have a blast playing each and every one of them with this book!

A must for any Oasis fan who plays guitar. Tab is really easy to follow and it covers everything

Super to get all songs in one book, would be better if larger book to easily open and set on music stand to practice with

Great book, easy to follow, seems to be spot on from what I’ve read so far

It was bought as a present for a young man, who is teaching himself the guitar. He is particularly interested in Manchester bands so he thought that this was perfect.

Bought for husband for birthday. He loves it.

Great for the Oasis fan

I would have been a whole lot happier if it had been spiral bound so you could easily put it on a music stand. Yeah, I knew that going in.Some of the chords are different from what I think are correct, but Noel plays stuff differently at times, so they probably aren't wrong. Overall it's pretty good, but it's not a whole lot better than the same info you can get on ultimate-guitar.com for free. It is nice to have it in a book format, though. I am debating cutting the spine off mine and punching holes in it so I can put it into a 3-ring binder. As I said earlier, it is really annoying to try to use it on a music stand.

Loved it!

Accordi di tutte le canzoni degli OASIS, fatto molto bene

Produto para presente

Just starting to learn guitar and being the Oasis fan I am, I must know at least one Oasis song. Relying on the internet for explainations of how to play their songs can be overwhelming with variations or just wrong chords being played. This book lays out EVERY song well. Tabs are straight forward - when playing with a song in the background, it’s actually the exact chord used. Tuning and capo positions easily identified. Can’t go wrong owing it.

Super prix répond tout à fait à mes attentes nickel merci beaucoup
