Product Description
Add to your repertoire and reinforce your technique with this collection of traditional, easy-to-play kids’ songs. Bring these beautiful melodies to life by listening to the recordings on the companion CD, then using the transcriptions to practice single-note melodies, basic strums and basslines, and simple chords. A supplement to the Acoustic Guitar Method, this terrific book/CD pack teaches 15 beloved children’s tunes: The Green Grass Grew All Around * Frog Went A-Courtin’ * Grandpa’s Farm * Hole in the Bucket * Hopalong Peter * I’ve Been Working on the Railroad * Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho * Midnight Special * Mole in the Ground * My Darling Clementine * Oh! Susanna * The Riddle Song * She’ll Be Comin’ ‘Round the Mountain * Skip to My Lou * There Ain’t No Bugs on Me. Includes: complete lyrics; full guitar parts in standard notation, tablature and chord diagrams; and detailed notes on song origins and arrangements.
I’m very much a beginning guitarist and this book is well within my range. It offers some fairly easy to play melodies and the songs are some that my own children recognize and can sing, making it enjoyable for all of us. If you’re looking for a book to stretch your guitar skills, this isn’t it, but if you just want to learn some fun songs your children might like too, this is great!
