This review is from: The Folksong Fake Book: (Fake Books) (Plastic Comb)
I have really enjoyed this book.First off, there are more songs than you can imagine! It's great to search by name or location of origination, etc. Most are done with simple chords so if you have a limited knowledge of fancy chords there will be lots of songs for you to enjoy playing. I love the binder which allows for the book to lay flat without the pages flipping around. Happy playin'!

I'm only 2 months into learning to play guitar. This book has allowed me to play songs that I know. This has really helped me feel like I will get there at some point.
