The pieces have all been arranged from tunes collected from various old published collections.
This collection is presented in a PDF file using standard notation, and also guitar tablature for the many gutarists out there who do not read standard notation.
Each of these pieces have been created for guitarists to have a basic arrangement to use for their own arrangements and longer improvisations.
A small number of the pieces worked best with what is called "Drop D Tuning" where the lowest E string is lowered to D.
In 19th Century America, the
Freemasons were busy publishing all kinds of
music related to their organization... instrumental, choral, songs, you name it.
