AlfredThe Best of James Taylor Piano, Vocal, Guitar Songbook
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Sheet music collection of James Taylor material arranged for piano, voice and guitar. For players who already read notation and want the songs on paper.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Pianists who sing and want to accompany themselves
- Vocalists who need written melody and lyrics to work from
- Guitarists who play from chord symbols rather than tab
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitarists wanting note-for-note tablature of the original parts
- Beginners who do not read standard notation
- Anyone after backing tracks or recordings
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Guitar covered by chord symbols
You get chord names, not the original picked guitar part written out. Guitarists strum or build their own part.
Detail 03
Vocal line notated
Melody and lyrics are printed, so a singer can read pitch and rhythm without learning it by ear.
Detail 04
Songbook, not a method
No lessons or exercises. It assumes you can already read and play at an intermediate level.
Detail 05
Collection format
Multiple songs in one volume at $19.95, rather than paying per song.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this book have guitar tab?
No. Guitar is handled with chord symbols above the staff. The written-out part is the piano arrangement.
02Can I use this if I only play piano?
Yes. The piano arrangement stands on its own, with the vocal melody printed above it if you want to sing along.
03What reading level does it need?
Standard notation in both hands. If you are still learning to read, a beginner method will serve you better first.
04Will it sound like the recordings?
It is an arrangement for piano, voice and guitar, so expect the songs in a playable form rather than a transcription of the record.
