Pity I trusted the reviews,
This review is from: Rise Up Singing: The Group Singing Songbook (Spiral-bound)
Too bad that I believed the good reviews of this book. I purchased it so that I could play guitar (the editorial review stated that it had guitar chords in an easy-to-use format) along with the songs. I have never seen a more poorly laid out book to try to play guitar to in my life! Confusing doesn't begin to describe it. Take a look at the sample pages 3-29 (I wish I had), that is exactly how the material is presented. In my opinion, a terrible waste of money.

By Queen of Kingfisher (kingfisher B.C.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rise Up Singing (Spiral-bound)
I bought 3 copies of this book a few years ago and have given them all away so now I have bought another one for myself. I love this book, every song that means anything to me seem to be in this book. I thought maybe it was my age, 61, but visiting my 36 year old son and seeing him use it all the time made me realize it truly is a family, friend sing along book, simply the best.

This review is from: Rise Up Singing: The Group Singing Songbook (Spiral-bound)
With knowledge of most basic chords and a fondness for folky music (traditional & revival + related - old English/Irish, spirituals, 60s-70s pop) I'll page through for hours picking through these tunes.I'm familiar with ~ 15% of the songs here but that's still loads. When I pick up a new Leadbelly CD or hear a classic on the radio I look it up and usually find it - dog ear another page. Some of the reviews seem to be looking for a teaching guide. I wouldn't call S.O. that but if you're looking for a classic source of classic tunes, definitely pick this one up!
