This book features 21 engaging public-domain and original melodies in standard notation and guitar tablature with first-verse lyrics, suggested accompaniment chords and online audio. Tips on reading tab and diagrams for frequently used chords are also provided.

The tunes are arranged progressively from easy to harder, beginning with single-note melody arrangements but soon expanding with complete flatpicking guitar accompaniment— also written in both notation and tablature. As you progress through the book, you will notice more frequent occurrences of hammer-ons and pull-offs, plus a couple of melody/chord arrangements.

Program notes document the many country and bluegrass artists who have recorded these songs. These melodies have clearly stood the test of time and will make a great addition to the novice country guitarist’s repertoire. Includes access to online audio.
