Play Acoustic Guitar with Paul Simon (Paul Simon/Simon & Garfunkel)

Rating:
Summary: a real insight in Paul Simon's playing
Review: This book/cd combination is excellent!! What you get is a 44 page book with six of Simon's solo songs (50 Ways to Leave Your Lover, Kodachrome, Me and Julio, Peace Like a River, Something so Right, and Take Me to the Mardi Gras). The book includes both standard and tabbed notation. The transciptions are excellent and note perfect. The cd includes two performances of each song "karoake" style (backing tracks only). On the first performance all the instruments in the backing are included, and on the second the guitar has been removed so you can play along. My only complaint is that I wish the second performance had featured only the guitar so you could study the nuances more closely. That, however, is only a niggle and doesn't detract from this otherwise excellent study. Very highly recommended.
