Arthel "Doc" Watson and David "Dawg" Grisman's musical friendship goes back to the early 1960s. The CD Doc & Dawg from the Acoustic Disc label captures some of their private sessions created during Doc's visits to David's home studio over the years. The transcriptions found in this book give Doc's guitar parts in notation and tablature with chord symbols. All fourteen selections from the CD are included, encompassing a variety of musical styles that exhibits all the warmth, joy and artistry of Doc's playing. Selections include an easy-going Bill Monroe blues, "Bluegrass Stomp," a racing "Soldier's Joy," a bright, jazzy "Sweet Georgia Brown," the folk favorite "Frankie and Johnny," and more.
