Joel Mabus Music On PaperBook, Lead Sheets, Guitar Arrangements, Banjo TAB & MoreAn ongoing project... most recently updated June 21, 2020 What's Here? Click on hypertext to jump to it! Or scroll, scroll, scroll.My Book Parlor Guitar, published in 2006 by Hal Leonard, Inc About My Sheet Music - How I make it and the
different kinds I have Lead Sheets list (melody w/chords and lyrics) for several
of my original songs
MY BOOK The only bound book of mine, to date: Parlor Guitar,
was published
by Hal Leonard -- a world wide publishing firm -- in 2006. This book has detailed note-for-note transcriptions (music & tab)
of ten songs from the Parlor Guitar CD.
The book also has a CD included of those 10 cuts from the original album.
MY SHEET MUSICWith the help of a professional music scoring program (Finale) I have available some of my songs in lead sheet format (that means a melody staff, chords above and lyrics below) -- and transcriptions of several of my guitar instrumentals in full arrangements (two staves with music notation on top and the tablature version underneath). I also have most of my original fiddle tunes in treble clef notation with chords. And I have begun to add some banjo tunes in TAB notation. Check back for new additions. If you don't see the song or tune you are looking for, contact me and ask if it might be available IMPORTANT NOTE: The guitar arrangements I offer here in sheet music in most cases are not note-by-note transcriptions of the recorded work. (unless the title says "transcription") That IS the case of the Parlor Guitar BOOK (above), but these others I offer are a "how-I-play-this-tune" arrangements which are VERY similar to how they sound on the cd, but are basically once through the tune, and don't include the variations I do with each pass, or the intro's or the interludes between songs that might occur in medleys. But each is a good solid arrangement and each represents my ideal when I sit down to play my versions of these songs. [click here

Pricing and orderingAll my sheet music is printed on 8.5x11 paper on one side. Or a PDF of the same, which are the emailed versions. After much contemplation about fair compensation, I have come up with the following price: ONE DOLLAR PER PAGE -- but two different ways to get it: 1 PRINTED PAGES MAILED TO YOU: The One Dollar per page PLUS a printing/handling/shipping fee of $6 per
order If I can stick folded pages in with another order, I can waive the
$6 shipping fee. For example, if you are ordering CDs, and don't mind your
pages folded, I can include them in your cd
package for just that $1 per page. Similarly, if you are ordering my Parlor
Guitar book your printed pages can be mailed with it (but not folded) at the
$1 per page price, but with no additional $6 shipping fee. 2 PDF PAGES EMAILED TO YOU: The One Dollar per page, BUT no printing/handling/shipping charge applied. I will send you the songs in PDF format as attachments
to an email: each song in its own virus-free file. This eliminates the printing and shipping fee. You
will need a PDF reader (such as Adobe Acrobat Reader or something similar) to open and print
the music -- most devices have a PDF reader. Just the One Dollar per
page would apply, but I ask for a $10 minimum unless you pay by a check which
you would send me first. 3 PAYMENT OPTIONS: Pick one of three ways to pay: BY MAIL & CHECK: give me a mailing address and tell me specifically which songs you want, with a check made out to JOEL MABUS. If the math seems too daunting, email me with the list of songs you want and I will send you a price quote. There is no minimum required, paid by check. Send your order by mail to:
BY SQUARE UP INVOICE: First, send me an email with the
list of pieces you would like to order BY PAYPAL: If you are already registered at PayPal (as many
are) and would rather send funds that way, it is easy to do. First, let's
email each other to agree on the order and the final price ($10 minimum) then
pay me the full amount at PayPal. Make Paypal funds payable to: joel.mabus@pobox.com
