For about the cost of one guitar lesson that will get you nowhere, you can now learn how to play great music with the mysterious and powerful Liberty Tuning. If you have the full & partial capos and the knowledge in this book, it only takes about 10 seconds to set up any guitar and start singing these 30 classic folk songs.
