The How and the Tao of Folk Guitar: Volume One

Posted by Jacob Blackwood on October 12, 2009 at 12:09pm
http://tangiersound.files.wordpress.com/2007/06/folk-guitar1.pdf Some of you might find this guitar book useful. Of course, it is for six string guitar, but it covers open tunings and playing slide guitar. Should be fairly simple to translate to CBG. I am about to print out a copy for myself. Hope this helps some of you.

    After reading the first few sections, I can honestly say this is one of the better beginner books that I have seen. The author starts you out in Open G tuning so that you can just play bar chords and focus on strumming and rhythm. The teaching style is very laid back and focuses on folk/country/blues style songs. So far I am enjoying this book.

    Hah! The author mentions Son House on page 90.
