50 wellknown Kids Songs from Europe and America, notet for easy playing with Canjo, Dulcimer, and other diatonic string instruments with the extra fret „b7“.
In this book, numbers are used for the notes – the vocal melody determines the time to play and the length of the notes – NO MUSIC THEORIE!

All songs are written using the „diatonic scale“ (the „normal“ scale with 7 notes). On many stringed instruments there is an additional fret between the fret 5 and 6. The flated seventh – „b7“ – is added, which particularly influences the „blues character“ of melodies. This tone also increases the number of songs that can be played with the guitar. In order to meet this extension and the resulting shift of the numbers / notes (compared to the „normal“ diatonic scale), this special editions „b7“ of the songbooks have been created.

Whether on the diat. Guitar this additional tone is present, is easy to find out: four adjacent frets – fret 5 to 8 – have almost equal distances.
