So Fun to Play My Favorite Tunes!
I absolutely love this book! As an adult learner, the 'easy to intermediate' arrangements by Fred Sokolow are perfect for my weekend playing. It's incredibly satisfying to play classic country and pop songs like 'Crazy' and 'Your Cheatin' Heart' and have them sound so recognizable. The different tunings add a fun challenge too!

Solid Collection for Quick Prep
A very practical book for gigging. The inclusion of chords and lyrics alongside tab means I can quickly learn or adapt songs on the fly. The arrangements, while simplified, truly capture the essence of these must-know country and pop tunes. Good variety across genres and tunings. Page turns are manageable for a 96-page songbook.

Useful for Vocalists with Lap Steel Accompaniment
While designed for lap steel, the inclusion of lyrics and chords makes this collection surprisingly useful for vocalists. The streamlined arrangements provide clear harmonic support, and the lap steel parts often outline the melody, making it easy to follow. The diverse tunings and well-known repertoire are excellent for working on varied vocal stylings.
