Skiffle Essentials Songbook: 30 Classic Songs for Guitar by Quayle, Jez

Description: In the late 1950s there was a skiffle craze in Great Britain. This folk music with a rock beat was the gateway into music for artists such as The Beatles, The Kinks, Van Morrison, and most other UK rock, pop, folk and blues musicians who were successful in the 1960s. This book contains the full lyrics and guitar chords for 30 songs that were common in the repertoires of amateur and professional skiffle groups back then. Songs made famous by the likes of The Vipers, Chas McDevitt, Lonnie Donegan, Ken Colyer, and the City Ramblers skiffle groups. Songs include: 'Rock Island Line'; 'Midnight Special'; 'Putting On The Style'; 'Maggie May'; 'Freight Train'; 'Don't You Rock Me Daddy-O'; 'Pick a Bale of Cotton' ... and many other classics. Each song is presented over a double page spread with chords above the lyrics. There is also instruction in how to strum the guitar when playing skiffle songs and a valuable explanation of the 'three chord trick'.
