Hi Walt, Glad you're able to adapt the guitar stuff for piano successfully.
I know the problems with the published piano parts for Joni's songs: a) they're hard to find (especially for the older albums like Blue, For The Roses etc) b) they tend to be oversimplified, as you say - not what joni actually plays. The "Complete" songbook that I believe is still in the pipeline is - I think - going to be the usual Piano/Vocal/Guitar style, i.e melody transcribed with "simple" piano parts and guitar chord boxes. I have heard that it will be out "soon" - but that could mean in a month, in a year or longer! regards, Howard [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Hi, Howard and Marian, > > You've both sent mer good musical advice in the past, and I was just surfing > through the guitar database, and although I'm some sort of pianist, I can > make sense of the tablature -- not least because you've explained it so well. > > A very big thanks to both of you for all the work you do! > > I'm trying to teach myself to play piano directly from tablature arrangements > -- I can already sort of do it from chord names and make up my own > "arrangements" that differ from the published ones -- but your tablatures for > songs like "The Wolf That Lives In Lindsey" which are very much guitar songs, > give so much more information than the published piano arrangements, some of > which are oversimplified and/or hard to find now (although that may change if > she ever puts out her "Complete" Books -- any news on that?). > > And I have yet to make a dent in all the songs available. > > Thanks again, and keep up the good work! > > Walt
