    Default New tune book

    Just curious if anyone has seen this: "Folk Songs For Mandolin: Sing, Strum and Pick Along," by Bobby Westfall. It's relatively new. Sounds like it would have lyrics and chords, but I'm wondering if it has any mando TAB...

    In saw 3 on ebay and one states "Standard notation, tablature, chord symbols, lyrics", but with only 71 pages for 40 something songs it must be minimal tablature if at all. Looks nice for the price though.

    I have the book and think it is well written. Many of the "folk" songs lean towards "bluegrass" or "Old Time".
    Has tablature. Not certain how minimal the tablature is as I don't use it.
    It is well worth the price and with so few published books that are not "bluegrass" or "Old Time", I don't think you would regret the purchase.

    I just got that from my public library. Mostly it just provides a simple version of the melody. It is well printed and easy to read.
