Backpocket Old-Time Songbook

This book is a great collection of old-time and bluegrass songs complete with musical notation, histories, vintage photos, guitar chords, mandolin chords; and even singing tips. Great for singers and those who play guitar, banjo, fiddle, mandolin, autoharp, dulcimer, or would like to!

In addition to song lyrics, musical notation and guitar chords, it is packed hints on singing in the right key, singing with an instrument, transposing your chords, using a capo, plus a short history of old-time songs, minstrel songs, dance tunes, knockdown tunes, ballads, parlor songs and gospel songs. Includes numerous vintage photos. 57 pages.

“The Backpocket Old-Time Songbook is the BEST! I’ve looked for some of these songs for 20 years!”–David Mattson, Egegik, Alaska
