Title: Dennis Wilson Songbook
Post by: alanjames on December 28, 2009, 06:49:15 AM
Hi!
It would be great if one day Hal Leonard or another book company make a Dennis Wilson's songbook, with all of his songs released by Beach Boys, and/or solo, put on this, with chords, melodies, etc... a how-to-play kind of thing.
Dennis, as a great composer, deserves this.

It would be great, but I don't think we'll ever see this. It's more likely that a Brian-songbook (probably incl. solo-material) will be made.

Dennis would want you to figure them out on your own.

And considering they're not rocket science, I'd guess if you're a musician, you could. I don't mean that as an insult to the music, either. But whatever inspiration you may believe was behind those songs, the result wasn't exactly Paganini.
