Pump out that Piano Man solo! That’s why these books are good. There’s no section too difficult, there’s nothing held back. No stupid interpretations of melody lines – this is the real deal. In terms of sheer enjoyment, nothing beats playing transcriptions of songs, especially ones you like. So to sit down and play ‘Piano Man’ from start to finish exactly like Billy Joel (solo included), or ‘New York State of Mind’ with the jazzy intro and the beautifully voiced chords – it’s a real treat.

Get this book!

Very good, especially if you’re like me and you want the actual music played on the CD and not some sheet music editor’s lame rendition. All music books should be like this! It’s got the little intro that you hear at the beginning of “Piano Man” and the interludes in the middle of the song as well. It’s worth it just for that. Yay for Amazon for carrying sheet music books!

This is so well done it makes me mad that there aren’t many other books like it. I really wish they would have more editions so that i could learn more Billy Joel songs this way. It takes us through 15 songs just the way you hear it played by Billy himself, and even if you cant play this book through note for note (it is difficult stuff) right away, it helps with practicing music that is fun to play. The songs range from She’s Got a Way and Just the Way You Are, to Streetlife Serenader and the great intro to New York State of Mind. A must buy for any Billy Joel fan who plays keyboards.

If I had to choose one modern day piano book to take with me, and that includes my Best Jazz Standards book, my Queen book, and much more, I’d choose this one. This book actually inspired me to go buy more Billy Joel CD’s. When I played some of the songs of Billy Joel’s that I hadn’t yet heard, I loved them and immediately had to hear the real thing.

The variety is outstanding also. Thanks, of course, to Billy Joel’s creativity. The book includes some of his great romantic songs like “And So It Goes” and “She’s Got A Way”. And the great upbeat ones like “My Life” and “Tell Her About It”. Some of my favorite ones are the ones with the cool piano licks. For instance, “Scenes From An Italian Restaurant” has one of the coolest piano solos ever, and of course “Piano Man” is one that will impress friends because everyone has heard it. “Allentown” is amazing also. Well, they’re all amazing.

Many reviewers have mentioned how the book is great because it is the real piano accompaniment, not as a piano solo. That means you or your friends sing all the great Billy Joel lyrics and have a party around the piano, where the parties should be. :)

The different style of the book in which it’s what he plays rather than banal arranged sheet music makes it wonderful to play. For someone who can’t play jazz/rock songs by ear, it’s a great tool for some really fun playing. Not much to say other than no billy joel should live without it.
