Folk Tab Guitar

For the "Note-a-phobic" – this book is like an abridged version of "The (mostly) Folk Guitar Method Vol 1."

Still "from the ground up": It covers Parts of the Guitar, and Tuning. Basic technique – how to hold it, how to pick it and how to fret it. How to read chord diagrams. An introduction to hybrid" guitar tablature (the string and fret numbers of "plain" tab, but with notation-style rhythm markings). And then the basic concepts of Rhythm, with simple folk song melodies using those elements. More rhythm "concepts" like ties, rests, eighth notes and examples in folk songs. Then, chord diagrams of open-string major, minor, and seventh chords, and basic full-bar chord fingerings. Rhythm guitar slash notation and strum patterns. Chord change exercises and then folk song melodies with chord accompaniments. Finally, bass & strum accompaniment to more folk song melodies. (67 songs – 66 pages)
