Include melody, lyrics and guitar chords
Incredibly, despite the seemingly endless popularity of these works, which have been published, staged, recorded, broadcast, televised and cinematized over the years, there has never been an edition which permitted the guitar-playing masses to enjoy these Victorian gems. Here, for the first time, are 52 G&S favorites, drawn from five of their most popular operettas arranged with guitar chords - in guitar-friendly keys!
