This guitar songbook contains 50 classic songs from the early days of
rock 'n' roll and rockabilly - songs made famous by artists such as
Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Carl Perkins,
Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent and Bill
Haley. The songs are ideal for beginner guitarists as well as
experienced guitarists who haven't ventured far into the world of 1950s
rock 'n' roll before. Most can be played with just 3 chords, and you
need only 4 chords to play all 50 songs! These include: 'Blue Suede
Shoes', 'Tutti Frutti', 'That'll Be The Day', 'Rock and Roll Ruby',
'Rock Around the Clock', 'Johnny B Goode', 'Be-Bop-a-Lula', 'Jailhouse
Rock', and 'Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On'. Each song has been carefully
selected and arranged for guitar and is presented over a double-page
spread with chords above the lyrics. There is also valuable instruction
in how to strum the guitar when playing rock 'n' roll, and a useful
explanation of the 12-bar blues chord structure of many of the songs.
