This fingerstyle guitar book is a collection of popular music written by women composers during the North American parlor music era. Adapted for fingerstyle guitar, these 12 tunes are a representative sample of songs written from the 1840s to the 1920s: including a hymn, a march, topical songs, patriotic songs, folk-style tunes, and the blues. It was a period of time when women were little encouraged to write and publish music and were vastly underrepresented by publishing houses. However, the women composers in this collection persevered and found success having their original compositions published. It’s a diverse collection for fingerstyle guitar of lesser-known tunes to enduring classics still performed today. Intended for advanced beginners and intermediate guitarists, the selections are written in standard tuning and include online guitar renditions.
