Shop for a song by using lyrics online

I bought this book and a couple of others so that I could learn a few songs. When I played with the CD's the chords on some of the songs just didn't match. It is not that accurate and if you can the songs you want to learn elsewhere, I would...

I have the same type of songbook for the Beatles and I enjoy it. This one; however, just doesn't have it. The song choices overall are not good and that's at the root of my disappointment.

I've been an internationally recording artist for too many years to mention, and have written, produced and starred in a Rock Opera with Rod McKuen & Mary Jo Catlett. After moving my musical to Las Vegas, I became an assistant musical director of...

Michael's previous two books were great, but somehow "how to write funny lyrics" missed the mark for me. Maybe it's because I already knew that comedy should be unexpected, or maybe it's because I already knew how to pick rhyming words. Either...

This is hardly a 'book'. It's merely a handful of worthwhile ideas and insights, with a good number of exercises attached to them. By all means have a look at it if you're interested in the subject, but personally I'd hoped for something better. I...

This book has 250 songs for a total of 52 countries, some of whom I've never heard of. This makes for great variety. You also get to learn where these songs originated. For example, I didn't know Kumbaya came from the Congo.

I was...

There are a lot if interviews and tidbits about how certain songwriters write their songs, or how famous songs were written. not a lot of useful information about making your own lyrics better. this would be great for the absolute beginner lyricist

Its a nice small book, the type is easy enough to read and the paperback isn't an issue if you aren't afraid to bend the book. It has all the chords showing finger positions at the top of each song. Most are quite simple and you rarely have to...

I looked forward to being able to play some Christmas music on the guitar. I expected to get the guitar chords with these songs. There are 4 pages with 120 chords at the back of the book, but no chords with the songs themselves, which all seem to...

I recently heard Brent Mann interviewed on the radio here in Chicago and he was really informative, insightful and funny, as is his book. Several highlights for me from this book: 1. The section on Peter Gabriel's classic "Solsbury Hill" --...

Thumbs up for filling me in on the meaning behind the "Beds are Burning" lyrics.

Thumbs down for crediting "God Save the Queen" to the Clash. It is by the Sex Pistols, which even the most casual music fan would be able to research...

Bring the parachute pants and frizzy hairstyles of the 1980's back! This book is a wonderful reference book for all the lyrics that you might be unsure of on those "familiar" songs! I love the fact that it is available in this pocket sized book...

The songs in this book have really brought me back to my childhood and the songs that my parents used to listen to while dancing through the living room of our house. This book is a wonderful reference book for all the lyrics that you might be...

Finally! A book that really helped us! My band and I read all the other books. Went to the seminars. Paid the lawyers. But this book has opened our eyes, sharpened our pencils and got us going. Our songs are 'way stronger, and now we have a...
