    Each one is a complete musical world with its own character and rhythm. This collection gathers 30 of them in one place, arranged for classical guitar so you can move from a quiet Adagio to a Presto reel and back without leaving the book.

    Tunes that have lasted 300 years

    Some of these melodies are over three hundred years old.

    They've been played in pubs, at weddings, at funerals, and around kitchen tables for generations. There's a reason they've lasted.

    Music you already love

    Danny Boy. Whiskey Before Breakfast. The melodies that have crossed oceans and survived centuries.

    Every Piece includes:

    • Standard Notation - rhythm and notes

    • TABs for string and fret numbers

    • Suggested Fingerings for each note

    • A notation-only version, if you prefer no TABs

    • Tip Sheet with learning and practice strategies
