The Little Movie That Won An Oscar

If you have not seen the movie--see it. Then get the music. The duets of piano and guitar are one of a kind. Written by the stars of the movie, they performed on the 2008 Academy Award Show before winning the award for best original movie score.

do not buy for guitar

Don't really think this book is good for guitar - there are no tabs. The chord positions are akward (I've seen tabs/chord arrangements that use open chords and sound fine) and didn't think it sounded right to me.

great music

this is a great soundtrack and it is good to be able to play it on the piano, as i find it is often more difficult to get books that do not focus more on the TAB versions. Some of the songs are easier and some are very tricky, it...
