Easy arrangements for traditional favorites from the folk den
Roger McGuinn brings his love of folk guitar to novice and intermediate players, providing a solid repertoire of classic songs along with the basic techniques needed to play them. Roger uses a six-string acoustic, rather than his trademark 12-string, to show you the chord progressions, bass runs and special licks that make his arrangements distinctive. You can use either standard fingerpicking or Roger's flatpick-and-fingers approach to make these songs come to life.
The sea chanteys, ballads, blues, spirituals and cowboy songs you'll be learning are part of the backbone of the American folk music tradition, and they are great fun to learn and sing. You'll also be playing McGuinn originals such as "Gate of Horn", "May the Road Rise To Meet You", and the Byrds' hit, "Chestnut Mare", which Roger demonstrates on his Martin 12-string for a more authentic Byrds sound.
By the end of this lesson you'll also be playing these great classic folk songs: Off to Sea Once More Buffalo Skinners Spanish Is the Loving Tongue The Water Is Wilde East Virginia Delia's Gone Wayfaring Stranger All My Trials Long Time Man
