The Carter Family Collection

Print is hard to see, very small and light. Will not lay open. But a nice collection of songs with music and words!

Good, comprehensive book with many favorite songs.

Good selection of Carter songs.

A very good complete collection.

Great book

This is a very good book for people who want a deep understanding of Carter family music and history. The songs all have complete tab and tuning of the guitar used, plus there is a wealth of information on techniques used on the songs. The best I have seen on this talented family and a real bargain!

Can't help but love all there songs,they are all amazing,it give me a insite into playing maybelle carter style just love to fingerpick.

the recordings are fine For people who like going back to the roots of bluegrass this set is the gold standard. IT seem funny but kids who listen only to RAP love this and most don't want to listen to RAP if they have an option to hear this stuff. I don't know what it is about Sarah Carter's voice but it is captivating. Sounds like a 4 pack a day singer who is absolutely on pitch and can command attention. Beautiful.

You get a lot of music in this book, mostly in the "Carter Scratch" style - melody played with the thumb on the bass strings, accompanied by brushes with the fingers on the treble strings - but also a couple of tunes in country blues slide and fingerpicking.Mother Maybelle was a profoundly influential guitarist, but her style is suitable for beginners who have only learned a handful of chords. If you're a more advanced guitarist you should be able to work out most of her stuff by ear, even if you have very little experience transcribing. But it's a lovingly made book, with historical notes for each tune, and worth studying if you want to take a deep dive into Carter style guitar and pre-war folk music. Sokolow has published prolifically in all kinds of guitar styles of the 1920s-1950s, and his experience shows.

Great book, with lyrics, solo and accompanying guitar. Although melodies are simple, it's often hard to play along by ear alone with them because guitar often tuned down and this has all the correct tunings, which is great. I'm very happy with. Nice biographical info aswell.

Ok

great
