 Completely Inaccurate Transcriptions September 17, 2006
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Don't fall victim to the falsely positively rated reviews. Though somewhat comprehensive, the transcriptions featured in this anthology are blatantly inaccurate and do not directly reflect Ms.Mitchell's beautiful songwriting capabilities. River, my favorite, is horribly off, using a major C chord for the beginning piano solo. Do not bother purchasing, unless you want to rip your ears off each time you attempt playing these transcribed "versions".
 for any musically active Joni fan a must buy March 22, 2006

A good selection of Joni's mini masterpieces. The Circle Game and other titles from Blue work well as piano solo. The later songs, where Jaco was present on the recording dates and where the bass lines and fills (often brief overdubs of several basses filling) are (wonderfully) dominant, less so (for me at least). Nevertheless I am well pleased I bought the book!

This book is clearly written by Joni; most of the songs follow parts heard on the CDs. Don't be dissapointed by the simplicity though. Simple arpeggios and the basics are provided, but any style has been left up to you. . .
Fairly disappointing March 4, 2003

I bought this anthology based on the two positive reviews from other purchasers. Four stars seemed like a pretty good recommendation. However, I received the book yesterday and was fairly disappointed. Many of the songs are quite poorly done, and all of them are much too simple. Big Yellow Taxi, for instance, has several chords that are clearly not correct and sound nothing like the "real" version. I thought Circle Game was the best rendition overall, but other than that, I wouldn't bother purchasing this. I have not bought any other Joni Mitchell book, but if this is the best out there, then I think I've just discovered a niche in the market....I'll be off writing my own, and accurate, version of these songs!

This is great. I've always wanted to know how to play Carey, (I'm) Don Juan's Reckless Daughter, Big Yellow Taxi, River, and other great Joni Mitchell songs.But guess what? My two absolute favorites, "Blue" and "The Last Time I Saw Richard" are both absent. Oh well. Get it anyway.
