Can You Canjo?: Learn How to Play - Paperback

by Linda Henderson (Author), Holly Gibbons (Author), Kathy Bartlett (Author)

The "Can You Canjo" book shows how anyone, young or old, can learn to play the Canjo. Many familiar traditional children's songs are included so that the beginner Canjo player can strum right into musical action from the very first note. Music from a "tin" can? Playing music on the old Front Porch with handmade instruments made from discarded items, has a long history in the United States. The Canjo is a more modern variation of earlier single stringed instruments. The Canjo design is fretted, played by fingering just above the frets and uses discarded food cans for the resonator. The Canjo is a fun and easy way for children and adults to learn to play a simple stringed instrument.
