Japanese Folk Songs for Guitar
Old Town School of Folk Music, Chicago

Japanese folk songs of the 1800's were written for traditional instruments of the time. These songs have subtle, but beautiful haunting melodies. And, they sound great on the guitar. We’ll learn several instrumental songs - some simple, some more challenging, by working through tab notation. If you are a beginning player and want to move beyond strumming, this is a great opportunity to learn to pluck individual melody notes using your fingers or a pick. For more advanced guitar players, this is an opportunity to try something new and add to your repertoire. All levels of players are welcome.
We will emphasize efficient fingering positions, and techniques that can be applied to other styles of playing. Proficiency with bar chords will be helpful, but not essential. Let’s learn something different! Listen to Tabaruzaka .
