Crosby, Stills & Nash - Guitar Chord Songbook (Guitar Chord Songbooks)

Easy detailed and accurate

The Crosby, Stills, Nash, Guitar Chord Songbook has some songs in it that sound fairly close to the recorded versions, such as "Teach Your Children", but others that, to me do not. Admittedly, I am no great guitarist. Songs such as "Guineviere" are not really approriate, as a finger-style is more suited for that song than strumming chords. There are some good songs in the book that seem fairly accurate. It is difficult to follow the structure of the song "Suite Judy Blue Eyes", and I find the way it is pesented is confusing. Overall, it is a fairly goor guitar chord book.

Not bad for the modest price but as noted by others the book has serious limitations: No tabs for short riffs, no fingerstyle pattern references (many songs use fingerstyle), some chords also seem incorrect. Book is very small but you can copy two facing pages onto a single 8.5” x 11” page for ease of reference if you are inclined to do so (even though that’s technically against copyright law). This book is helpful for tuning references, lyrics, and (most) chord shapes. You’ll need a great ear or assistance from other sources to help with fingerstyle patterns and rythm however. On the positive side, there are more CSN songs in this book than similar books offered on Amazon.

Great songbook! Just what I was looking for, to add some CSN&Y songs to a set list. Thanks ! I especially like its compact size.👍

Nice book..amazing tunings and lyrics..all Hal Leonard book rule ...if you are a fan this a book you must own

I thought it would be tabs but it was just chords, which is why I gave it only 4 instead of 5 but it has a lot of songs and it shows the tuning for all of them which is awesome.

Disappointed. Not really a very good CSN chord songbook. Of curse, many of the songs here originally used open tuning, which don't translate to standard chords really. I just found that I don't use the book often - but that's been true of all of their songbooks - so, go ahead and get it and take what you can get from it if you're a diehard fan like me who wants to play some of their songs.

POCKET BOOKS????

If you like and aspire to play the great guitar parts in the CSN catalogue, this is a good value Kindle book as it has all the chord diagrams and lyrics. However there is one thing that I found confusing; the instructions about the guitar tuning for each song. Both David Crosby and Stephen Stills used many alternate tunings as well as standard, and several songs show alternate tunings in the book. One particular song that I'm interested inis "In My Dreams", which does not show an altered tuning but obviously does use one (D A D D G C) according to CSN fan sites such as 4WaySite.com. Only being a guitar player for a year, it was only when I tried the chords in the book that I realised what was happening. (Doh!) However, this hasn't stopped me enjoying digging into the book and learning some new chords!

A must for CSN fans.

Une bonne compilation des titres de ces artistes intemporels, les grilles d'accord et le open tunings indiqués sont corrects, il reste à travailler les doigtés de la main droite (pour les droitiers) et retrouver les harmonies vocales par soi-même!
