Piano, Vocal and Guitar arrangement for the traditional celebration song, Happy Birthday To You.

Played during the end credits to Peter Jackson's epic film adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's book, The Hobbit, The Song Of The Lonely Mountain is a ballad with atmosphere to match the film. This official sheet music for the song has been expertly arranged for Piano and Voice with Guitar chord boxes. Composed on a dwarven theme by Australian Folk artist, Neil Finn, The Song Of The Lonely Mountain builds steadily to evoke the journey to the Misty Mountain; chants and anvil beats conjure images of miners hard at work in the depths on the earth. The Song Of The Lonely Mountain was performed by Neil Finn with his sons Elroy and Liam.

Younger students will enjoy the creative approach to playing simple guitar chords in William Bay's Children's Guitar Chord Book. Chords are taught with exercises that build upon each other and eventually lead the student to playing logical and common chord progressions. These progressions include I-iii-vi-ii-V-I and twelve bar blues in many different keys. Chords are shown in chord diagram form with detailed illustrations showing finger positions in relationship to the fretboard. Open chords for folk music as well as power chords for rock music are presented clearly and easily in this text. A complete easy chord chart and capo chart is provided at the end of the book for easy reference. Examples and exercises are presented in strum bar notation.

Love Me Do was the first single to be released by The Beatles, on October 5 1962, backed with PS I Love You, on EMI’s Parlophone label. Though historically important as the début record by the world’s greatest ever pop group, it was by no stretch of the imagination a portent of what was to come, reaching only as high as number 17 in the Record Retailer’s Top 50 charts, on December 27. When Beatlemania exploded in the US, however, it became their fourth No. 1 there in May 1964. Curiously, the song was recorded by The Beatles on three separate occasions with three different percussionists; firstly on June 6, 1962, at an EMI session with original drummer Pete Best; secondly on September 4 with the newly-recruited Ringo Starr; and finally on September 11 with session drummer Andy White. For reasons that have never been fully explained, it was the version featuring Ringo that appeared on all UK single releases of Love Me Do up until its original deletion in 1968. The Beatles’ 1963 debut album Please Please Me, however, featured the Andy White recording, which became the American hit in 1964 and other worldwide territories.  When re-issued in 1976 EMI (UK) used the White take because the original Ringo master had gone AWOL. The 20th anniversary 12” single in 1982 contained both versions but the ‘Ringo version’ had to be dubbed from the original single supplied by a Beatles collector and all issues since have come from the same source. The Pete Best version was made available on Anthology 1. Love Me Do was largely a McCartney composition, written in the 1958, with Lennon contributing the bridge in 1962. "Love Me Do was our greatest philosophical song,” said Paul in 1972, possibly tongue in cheek. “During the recordings, all I can remember is being terrified out of my wits, and quaking in my boots. I can still hear it on my vocal."

The ability to strike the string effectively and produce a clear sound is paramount. Left-hand technique is then addressed with notes on the top three strings in first position. Use of the thumb is also covered briefly. Light relief comes in the form of small amounts of glissando and percussive work. Dynamics are then introduced onto a stable base of notes, followed by accidentals (key of G). The book is rounded off with chords and arpeggios, giving the student a chance to ‘swap seats’ with the teacher and play the role of accompanist. Elsewhere the teacher may accompany the pupil with the suggested chords, either playing the root note or the full voicings as notated. A daily practice session for the completion of book one, extra repertoire and other helpful information are all available at www.thebeginnerguitarist.com.
