Irish Drinking Songs - 146-page Songbook for 3-string Cigar Box Guitar

Ben Gitty writes: As you probably know, the Irish have a bit of a reputation for enjoying their drink... and for writing songs to celebrate it. This songbook contains my favorite traditional Irish drinking songs: songs specifically about booze and drinking, and also some songs and shanties that are great for singing with friends while partaking.

This 146-page professionally printed and bound songbook contains 35 of the best-known and beloved Irish, Scottish and English drinking songs, all arranged specifically for playing on 3-string cigar box guitars tuned to Open G GDG. The words and additional verses are included for all of the songs, along with chords and chord forms and as well short historical sketches. All of the songs are presented with multiple arrangements for different skill levels and vocal ranges.

Playing these great Irish songs is easier than you ever believed, just follow the numbers above the words in the easy-to-play 3-string tablature format. This book was designed here at C. B. Gitty, with all tablature arranged by Ben "Gitty" Baker. 

Ben  also includes how-to-play pages showing you how to read the tablature, read and use the chord forms, and how to approach playing the songs!
