The Canjo Hymnal - 107 Classic Christian Hymns with Tablature for 1-string Canjo

Ben Gitty writes: I grew up in small pentecostal churches, where my grandma Myra helped lead the singing. The great old hymns and spirituals I learned during those years have stayed with him all my life, and I am proud to now be able to present them in tablature form for the canjo.

This 112-page book contains 107 of the best-known and beloved Christian hymns and spirituals, all arranged specifically for playing on one-string canjos. The words and additional verses are included for almost all of the songs, as well as short historical background stories for many of them. 

You can also get this hymnal directly from Amazon, with free shipping through Prime. Customers in Europe, be sure to browse Amazon.uk or Amazon.de to order a copy that will be printed and shipped from within the EU!

Playing these hymns is easier than you ever believed, just follow the numbers above the words in the easy-to-play canjo tablature format. This book was designed here at C. B. Gitty, with all tablature arranged by Ben "Gitty" Baker. It has been professionally bound and features full-color front and back covers.

We even include a page on how to read the tablature and play your canjo, and links to more canjo-related resources online!

Here is a sample of the tablature style:

(Each number above the word corresponds to which fret you should finger on the canjo's fretboard. A zero (0) means plug the string open/unfretted.)
