I (64 going on 65) have sung and played guitar since about 17 and have only learned to play from dots in the last 6 years or so and it has opened up the whole world of playing tunes! Best thing I ever did.

Looking at the work of Johnny Adams et al at Salford, some of them at Newcastle and Greg with The Trip to the Lakes has made me realise that the tunes were often kept alive by some tune players who had hand-written tune books of their own.

So our Beginners Tunes at The Beech is following a tradition by having our own tune book. Some but probably not all of us will get beyond it at some point
