Playing these songs is easier than you ever believed, just follow the numbers above the words in the easy-to-play canjo tablature format. This 60-page song book was designed and printed at C. B. Gitty, with all tablature arranged by Ben "Gitty" Baker. We even include a page on how to read the tablature and play your canjo, and links to more canjo-related resources online!
