Hal LeonardThe Big Book of Oldies Piano, Vocal, Guitar Songbook
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Piano/vocal/guitar songbook of oldies-era standards. For a player or singer who reads chart notation and wants a broad set of familiar songs in one volume.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Piano players who read standard notation with chords above the staff
- Singers needing melody lines and lyrics in one place
- Casual jam or sing-along sessions with older material
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitarists who read tab only — PVG uses notation with chord frames
- Players wanting note-for-note guitar transcriptions of the original recordings
- Anyone learning a specific single song; a folio is more content than needed

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this have guitar tab?
No. Piano/Vocal/Guitar books use standard notation with chord symbols and frames. The guitar part is chords for accompaniment, not a tabbed transcription.
02Can I use this if I only play piano?
Yes. The piano arrangement plus vocal line is the core of the book. The guitar chord symbols sit above the staff and can be ignored.
03Is there audio included?
No. This is a print-only songbook with no accompanying CD or download.
04Are the arrangements simplified?
Standard PVG arrangements are playable intermediate versions, not simplified easy-piano and not full note-for-note transcriptions of the records.
