I just bought "The Ultimate Fake Book" by Hal Leonard. Its sales pitch said
it was for keyboard, guitar AND clarinet. I am not a guitar player but I
always assumed that a guitar was "c" instrument. I expected that the chords
would be written in a different key so as to be the same concert key that I
am playing in. The written chords for the guitar look to be the same written
key that the melody is written in. I am wrong or should have the sales pitch
said guitar OR clarinet. I guess that if any "C" instrument wants to play
with me then they need the "C" book.

MY goal was to be able to sit down with friends that play either piano or
guitar and mess around with some tunes. But it looks like I will have to buy
two books to accomplish this, is this so?????????
