I can never find anyone who knows the name or author of this series...
A young man gets transported from reality into a "fantasy" world. Through a series of adventures, he finds that he can perform magic with music. He ends up playing a fantasy type of guitar and singing '80's tunes to conjure up stuff... I think I remember him singing a Beach Boys song to get a boat in one case. I thought they were great !!!
Of course, I was kinda young at the time...
and drunk...

I don't know if it the same but I read a series by Christopher Stasheff that started with Her Majesty's Wizard, he could do magic with phrases like lyrics and Shakespeare... Is that it?

I don't remember the title but I do remember reading something like that. L.E Modesitt has a series out now about musical magic the influence is more classical than 80's though I'm afraid.
Also remember reading something similar about a computer programmer who goes to another world and finds that his skills are magical.

If you have two minds, you are at war with yourself" (Illuminatus. 405).

I remember something similar called the woods out back and its sequel the dragons dagger.

Maybe it's one of the "Gor" books?!

It might be one of the Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever books but I doubt it.

You art talking about the Spellsinger series by Alan Dean Foster. I remember reading all them a long time ago. There are about 5 or 6 books in the series.
