4.0 out of 5 stars
Huge resource,

This review is from: The Celtic Fake Book (Fake Books) C Edition (Plastic Comb)
I just got this book and I can't believe how many songs there are. They are also listed by their nationality (Irish, Scottish, Welsh). I play a little guitar and I was looking for an Irish song book I could just play the chords with. This book has simple chord charts in the back and tells you which to play during the song. It doesn't give any type of strumming pattern, which would be helpful for me the beginner, it shows just the melody notations. Being in the SCA, it's nice to have so many traditional songs at my fingertips. It also DOES give a few instrumental pieces, the ubiquitous "Irish Washerwoman" being one of them. I would have liked to have seen a little bit about each song, although I know this is not a history book, but would have settled for a general time frame each song was created in. Other than that, a wonderful resource.

The Celtic Fake Book: "C" Edition,
By Karla S. Freimuth (Port Orchard, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Celtic Fake Book (Fake Books) C Edition (Plastic Comb)
This is a great fake book. I play the harp and have found this book extremely useful. It has many pieces of music that I simply couldn't find anywhere else! As far as fake books go (and I own a number of them), this is one of the very best.

This review is from: The Celtic Fake Book (Fake Books) C Edition (Plastic Comb)
This book is one of the best. I have many, but I always return to this one when I want to play for fun. I play the accordion, and the guitar cords allow me to make music out of the simple melody. It's a great choice, with many songs I never knew existed before I bought this book, and I heard a few.Warmly recommended!
