Folk So gs

for Guit

Transcribed, Edited and Arranged

by David Nadal

INTRODUCTION

Wben Americans think of their folk songs, they tend to think of a vast

body of musk familiar to themselves and their friends and neighbors.

These are the songs sung to the children, learned in school. or whistled at

work and play. Here is mu,,:;;ic as diverse and vital as the people from which

it springs. It is a body of work that includes favorites that are generations

old-... often music that can be traced back to the fah.way lands that were

the ancestral homes of the American family. In one way or another! all the

songs in this new collection form an intrinsic part of this colorful, extra-

ordinarily diverse American culture.

Here are arrangements for guitarists at every level-from the beginning

student to the con;;:ert artist. For the less experienced musician, I've added

simplified chord symbols above the tablature. These will help the player to

better understand the implied harmonies of the music. And, to create a less

intricate, easily manageable texture in the arrangements, I've avoided the

more complex inversions and extensions.

Perhaps this diversified menu of folk-song favorites-drawn from an

immense body of music-will inspire the player to explore this wonderful

source and the musical and performance possibilities it presents to all

of us.
