"Danny Schmidt's songbook a masterpiece" Another masterpiece by one of the great starving artists of our time. I bought a bunch of copies to give to friends and keep mine prominently displayed on our piano for inspiration. A "must give" Christmas or Chanukah or Kuanza gift for everyone on your list......Sincerely, Danny's Dad

"Danny Schmidt's Songbook" I received my songbook in late December. It is beautifully written, and the guitar notes are especially helpful. I confess that I have been slow in writing a review..I've been too busy trying to learn new songs! By the way, Danny is quite correct, you CANNOT breath while trying to sing the bridge of Stained Glass!

"If you're a fan of Danny's music, you need this book. Even if you don't play guitar." This guy is amazing. Seeing all of his lyrics bound together in one volume makes it clear that Danny Schmidt is one of the greatest poets alive today. When my copy arrived, I read it through cover to cover without even touching my guitar. As if his songs aren't already honest and personal enough, this songbook actually invites you into his head at the time he was writing each tune. His casual writing style is so uniquely his that when I finally dared to try playing some of my favorite Danny classics using the tips at the end of each song, it felt like he was sitting right there showing me on his guitar.

I've already ordered five more copies for my friends. I still can't believe that a hack guitarist like me is able to play most of these songs.

By Kenny Clayton I believe if there was a table and seated at this particular table were the greatest singer/songwriters of all time, that Danny Schmidt has a seat at that table. Danny embodies everything that is right about music. He is crazy poetic, insightful to the point of being scary, covers the range of human emotion, plays guitar like flowing water, and has a voice like a timeless sage. I love music, (and if your reading this I suspect you do too)and I have spent my life breathing it in like oxygen. My favorite experience with music has been listening to Danny's music. With this songbook, you get insight into the songs that is incredible and makes playing them so much easier than trying to pick each one out. Buy this and buy it for friends and share his music with others. I am on a mission to share this incredible music. I believe this world would be a better place if there were more Danny Schmidt fans.

"Oh yeah, one other thought" This book is great for acoustic guitar players of most every level... there are some genuine 3 chorders in here (with finger-friendly first position chords) or, if you want, try something like McCreary's pipes, for the more experienced and adventurous. A lot of the songs here can be played in fairly straightforward fashion, and can grow more challenging as you start adding the fills and embellishments often mentioned in the song notes.
