If you are just getting started, or if you are a casual player on a chording instrument, this is the perfect book for you. The book is absolutely bursting with a great variety of music: Old-time, bluegrass, gospel, Christmas, childrens tunes, Stephen Foster, British and Celtic, cowboy, blues, and more.
Because melody and lyrics are provided with every song, singers will also enjoy this wonderful collection of the worlds favorite songs. Truly a book of outstanding arrangements, made playable for folks who play for their own enjoyment. (Some of these songs, like Dark Hollow and Way Downtown, are hard to find in print.) Guitar, uke, and five-string banjo diagrams are included for the three chords, along with tips on strumming and transposing tips for singers. An invaluable reference book for teachers and pros, too!
