Item number 1301114AW, 48 pages, $14.95

Drawing from the music of Scottish bagpipers to Gospel music to the blues of guitarist Arnold Schulz, the "Father of Bluegrass" Bill Monroe created a mandolin sound and style that was unheard of up to that point in music history. Instead of being about the notes, Bill use to say that his music was about being high (the vocals) and lonesome with a preference for the blues. His style incorporated a type of storytelling that made a sizable contribution to American music as we know it.
 
This songbook folio presents authentic note-for-note transcriptions of sixteen Bill Monroe gems. Each song, arranged for mandolin with vocals, includes standard notation with tablature, vocal line notation and lyrics.
