5.0 out of 5 starsBeautiful pieces4 Oct 2012
By Lioness - Published on Amazon.com
I've had a great time with Se Lo M'Accordo and Bransle Gay. These songs are a joy, especially Bransle Gay, and I'm starting to work through the other pieces in the book. I have listened to the Renbourne recordings of these pieces, and the book includes a free audio of 13 of the songs on Melbay.com.
I have always loved Renbourne's style and musical sense. These are not beginner pieces, and some tunings are unfamiliar. I would suggest starting out with the standard tunings and dropped-D. I made notations of the tunings in the table of contents. I'm an intermediate guitar player, and these songs have encouraged me to play more, and have improved my technique. I'm a little afraid of tuning my strings up, such as E to F, but otherwise I look forward to trying everything in this wonderful anthology.
4.0 out of 5 starsOnce again, a well tablatured challenge12 Feb 2013

My advice here is to get the CDs on which these tunes appear if you can because while the Tab is excellent for those au fait with Tab it helps to hear the real thing first: over and over if necessary. If you were housebound by a cold winter or a self driven guitarist this book could be the challenge you've always wanted. If you have already mastered Tablature and note reading then you are in for a nice surprise because these are beautiful tunes, full of the atmosphere of days gone by. John Renbourn has managed to collect and arrange these pieces to appeal to the 21 Century person interested in bringing to life the sounds of days gone by.
