Publisher's Synopsis
A collection of 107 classic Christian hymns and spirituals, arranged for one-string diatonic canjo. Includes tablature, lyrics, additional verses and related historical information and images. A wonderful resource for anyone wanting to play sacred traditional music on their one-string canjo. This tablature can also be used for picking the melody on a standard dulcimer that includes the "blue note" sixth fret.
These are the beloved songs that have been the back bone of worship services in modern times, some of them for over two centuries. The canjo is an easy-to-play instrument that you can build yourself. It is basically a one-string dulcimer, and picking out tunes on a canjo is one of the easiest ways to get started making music.
