WiFlag reviewed How to Play from a Fake Book by Michael Esterowitz
Excellent
4 stars
Excellent book on playing from a fake book - great introduction to typical chord symbols, and a good discussion on spicing up the chords and melody. My only complaint is that the author calls out how the half-diminished chord gets a bad reputation for being cryptic and difficult, and then doesn't do a good job explaining it, (and it's the only chord he doesn't show the C-based key pattern for in a picture) thus maintaining the confusion!
