Looking for arrangements of old standards

[MuddyDitch]

Does anyone know of a tab book of old standards? I'm looking for songs like Smoke Gets in Your Eyes, Lili Marlene, La Vie en Rose, Someone to Watch Over Me ...

Thanks,
Erik

Erik, I don't know if you are into fingerstyle, but if you are, you might want to consider "Fingerpicking Standards" by Hal Leonard. It has 17 songs, including:

Fly Me To The Moon
Misty
Moon River
My Favorite Things
Unchained Melody
The Way We Were
What A Wonderful World
Yesterday

and others.

It has both music notation and tabs. Pretty easy, which I need! I'm working on Moon River right now.

Hi Erik...

Don't know about a specific book, but Fred Sokolow has published some great Books and DVDs of jazz standards for average players for the past 3 decades. Really quite nice arrangements, and I believe they all came with TABs or scores accompanying (the DVDs).

Amazon.com probably lists the most I've seen (many books are used and out of print). His DVDs are wonderful...

Here's my arrangement of ALL THE THINGS YOU ARE. I teach how to play it in the 2nd half of the video.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.
