| Post subject: | The Real Book |
I am morphing from a piano and I’ve ordered a Railboard tuned Baritone Melody. After I’ve discovered where all the notes are I wish to experiment with a local Jazz group that uses The Real Book. Since nobody here has even heard of a Chapman Stick, my question is, which of the Real Books would best suit my purpose, 6th Edition, B-Flat 6th Edition, E-Flat 6th Edition, or the Real Book (fake book) C Edition? |

You want "c" real book. Do you want to play the bass role or left hand chords right hand soloing? There are several approaches you can take. Steve Adelson is a great resource for this stuff and he does skype lessons. Where are you from? And what kind of jazz are you into? Brett |

Hi to you, I reckon the original in C is the way to go. Having said that, it's going to take you some time to be comfortable enough to even approach the real book. You will need to find your own way with it too, meaning that the instrument doesn't necessarily adapt itself to standard ways of notating. It can all be done, of course, and it could be most valuable to you to start straight away with what you intend to play long term. My two cents of course, Good Luck! Tim |

Hi Karl. You should get the standard C Real Book for your Stick repertoire. The others would need transposition. The Stick is tuned to regular concert pitch like a piano. Of course start with the easier tunes before you attempt Giant Steps or Ornithology. I am available for tutelage. Good luck Steve Adelson |

I really love Giancarlo's take on "Syeeda's Song Flute": For me the Real Book was a tremendous learning tool, having played many of the tunes on alto sax. Early Real Book favorites on The Stick for me. Maiden Voyage All Blues Black Orpheus Blue Bossa Alice in Wonderland Naima Four Nostalgia in Times Square Blue in Green So What Naima My Favorite Things and of course: "Goodbye Porkpie Hat" Dig in! |

The Real Book is a great start. Any tunes you are familiar with is a great start 'cause you know what the notes are, the book gives you melody and chord symols (lead sheet) so you can "search out" the parts as you become familiar with basic chords in left (especially) and right hand, and melody/bass ("no, THAT'S not Bb!") Have fun, you're at an advantage 'cause you read both ledgers and you don't play a string instrument and think the Stick is "just an extended-range guitar/bass that you tap" (just ask Greg Howard). |
