Excellent Resource for Guitar Students
This collection is fantastic for my beginner to intermediate guitar students. The 'First 50' series lives up to its name, offering accessible arrangements in both notes and tab, which is invaluable for teaching reading and rhythm. The engraving is clear and easy on the eyes, making it less daunting for new learners. A great compilation of folk favorites that keeps students engaged.

Useful Guitar Accompaniment for Singers
While this is a guitar book, it's a surprisingly useful tool for vocal coaching, especially for folk repertoire. The lyrics are clear, and the easy guitar arrangements provide a solid harmonic and melodic framework that beautifully supports a singer without overwhelming the voice. It's great for teaching folk style and allows singers to focus on their interpretation, even with guitar accompaniment.

Finally, Folk Songs I Can Play!
As an adult learner, I'm always looking for songs that are fun to play without being overly complex. This book is brilliant! The 'easy to intermediate' difficulty is spot on, making classic folk songs like 'Amazing Grace' and 'Scarborough Fair' achievable for a weekend player. I love that it includes tab and lyrics—I can really relax and enjoy playing along and singing.
