Best Folk Song Book

I originally bought this songbook in the 1960's when I was a teenager. During the ensuing years it disappeared. I've taken up guitar again, and wanted this songbook back. I was delighted to find it. It's still the best ever for those interested in folk music

Guitar Lessons With Joan

In 1965 - this book taught me how to play guitar. The songs are shown in their original keys and are not easy for a beginning guitarist. HOWEVER, all songs are transposed and with the use of a CAPO (song book says CAPO at 3rd Fret) you are playing the same chords Joan plays. If your guitar is tuned.. you play right along with her.. sure beats Volga Boatman!

Excellent for beginning guitarists!

The Joan Baez Songbook is an excellent foray into the folk music that put Ms. Baez on the map. All the songs included are classics, and easy to play. Fans of Joan Baez or folk music should have this songbook in their repertoire.

I play guitar but.....

Haunting, beautiful melodies..Timeless tunes the likes of "Jackaroe" & "Fenerio" make this a treasure.. the only thing missing is Joans' perfect voice!

A Classic

This book is filled with classic folk songs/ballads/hymns/lullabies, etc. that shouldn't be forgotten. They're songs for adults and children alike that have formed the roots of many current songs and stories.
