The violin is notorious for being hard to play, and even hard to create beautiful music from. At the same time however it is also famous for being an incredibly beautiful and rich instrument. But, how can you create beautiful music from your violin? Here's how...

Guitalele belongs to new music instruments. So far very few sheets were written for this instrument. I decided to fill a gap in the market. You will find 15 known songs in the book. Each song is recorded twice, whether you have any more to play with. As the guitalele tuned A2 D3 G3 C4 E4 A4," the guitar with a capo on the fifth fret or Requinto can play from these notes. In the end I added double page with most used chords. Songs: A Sailor Went to Sea, Sea, Sea; Ah, Poor Bird; Careless Love; Down by the Sally Gardens; Drunten im Unterland; Gaudeamus igitur; Lazy Mary; Molly Malone; Nearer, My God, to Thee; Nechci, nebudu k vam chodivavat; O Little Town Of Bethlehem; Oh du lieber Augustin; Santa Lucia; Sloop John B; St. James Infirmary Blues The are in the book songs without text.
