\"front<\/a>I’ve had this book since sometime in the late 1970s, when I was learning to play more intricate finger-picking guitar songs.  I don’t remember where I found it – at that time I was living in Flagstaff, so it could have been there. I didn’t read music, but this book is all in standard notation, so it gave me the incentive to learn how to read. Now I find it much easier than tablature, which I think is the scourge of all guitarists everywhere and should be banned by law.<\/p>\n

Back then, the first one I learned was Judy – I still play it occasionally. I also took on “A Day at the Seaside”, “Debbie Anne”, and “Ladye Nothynges Toye Puffe”. A lot of them are in the English Renaissance style he is known for, but there are a couple of the folkie ones.<\/p>\n

Anyway…I have never seen this book anywhere else and it is certainly out of print now. Early on, I made a copy and bound it and used that for my main book. Recently, I figured I should find the original again in my stuff and scan it. If you want the hard copy, real book, there are a couple available on Amazon…used, of course. My book has the binding apart, which makes it easier to scan page by page.<\/p>\n

I’ll post the book here for all, because I love Renbourn’s music and more people should be able to play it. \ud83d\ude42 He has other books on his own site and there are various tab books from records he did with Stefan Grossman (I have some of those too.)
\nJohn Renbourn – Guitar Pieces<\/a> (25M PDF).<\/p>\n

Enjoy,<\/p>\n
