Western Swing Fakebook?jazztele February 8th, 2009, 02:12 PM As far as I know, no such resource exists...so if a guy were to start compiling one, what would be some must have tunes? i figure i could subdivide it into western swing originals and standards that were hip with the country swing crowd... Mike Bruce February 8th, 2009, 02:27 PM Anything by Bob Wills. Mike Bruce screamin eagle February 8th, 2009, 03:04 PM If it were only a book consisting of the Tiffany Sessions I would buy without hesitation. Sure I would like the transcriptions to Jimmy Rivers' Live Album, but I would me completely content with a chord book or transcription book of the Tiffany Sessions. Junior Barnard just kills on all of those tunes: My window faces the south, Take Me back to Tulsa, Milk Cow Blues, The Girl I left Behind, Swing Blues #1, A Smooth One...of course Roly Poly would have to be on there, but that is the other great Wills guitarist: Wyble. elmerbumpkin February 8th, 2009, 03:50 PM you might find this book (http://elderly.com/books/items/49-690088.htm) helpful. I know I do. Bob Mc February 8th, 2009, 09:38 PM like elmerbumpkin, I have that book, but of all the versions of Fat Boy I have on CD, I have never heard anything remotely close to the score in the book. Other then that, it's a good collection. dangelico603 February 9th, 2009, 01:15 AM San Antonio Rose would have to be in there. Funny Jimmy Rivers getting mentioned because for a while I wanted to put together a book of Western Swing/Country Jazz transcriptions together. I transcribed a bunch of Jimmy Rivers', Jimmy Bryant and Dave Biller stuff (the guitar and steel parts) but figured it would probably sell two copies :lol:. Sad part is that I don't know where my transcriptions are now and I would hate to do it twice. Jason ch1naski February 9th, 2009, 01:24 AM Jason, I would buy one! I spend a lot of my guitar-playing time figuring out little bits of Bryant's stuff, and Biller from the Biller & Wakefield cd.......it would be nice to learn some songs all the way thru...might help me put the pieces together of how these cats do it. BTW last night at the Cindy/Redd gig, he admonished the world for not giving Speedy and Jimmy their due in this day and age. As Redd so eloquently put it "they are the ****." ch1naski February 9th, 2009, 01:27 AM If it were only a book consisting of the Tiffany Sessions I would buy without hesitation.

I just got the Tiff transcriptions. Junior, Tiny, Eldon, etc., RIP IT UP. It's the one good thing bout ol' Bob Wills never shuttin' up: you always know who's playin' what..... "take it away, Leon!".... wangdangdoodle February 9th, 2009, 07:05 AM Well... you can make a few standards western swing... espcially with the #1o substitute in a 1-6-2-5 situation. I had a wonderful oppertunity to sit in with a great western swing band a few weeks ago, and the stuff I played with them was just a real odd ball collection of blues, standards, surf/jazz, and some real western swing like Jimmie Rivers, Wade Ray, etc. It was really the instrumentation, diminished substitutions, and the fact me and the other lead guitarist both had Tele's that made it feel like western swing :mrgreen: |
