En savoir plus sur le livre

This collection features 50 well-known German folk songs arranged for easy playing on Canjo, Dulcimer, and other diatonic string instruments with the extra fret "b7." The notation uses numbers for the notes, allowing the vocal melody to guide the timing and length of each note—no music theory required! All songs retain their original German lyrics and are composed using the diatonic scale, which consists of seven notes. Many string instruments include an additional fret between the fifth and sixth frets, introducing the flatted seventh ("b7") that enhances the bluesy character of melodies and expands the repertoire for guitar players. This special edition addresses the adjustments needed for the "b7" note compared to the standard diatonic scale. To check for the presence of this additional tone on a diatonic guitar, simply look for four adjacent frets (5 to 8) that are nearly equidistant. The song list includes classics such as "Abendstille überall," "Das Wandern ist des Müllers Lust," "Der Mond ist aufgegangen," "Freude, schöner Götterfunken," and many more, making it a rich resource for musicians seeking to explore German folk music.
