Product Description The name "Little Roy" is misleading! He was considered an Icon during those early years and was the most imitated player at that time era. That era is long past but the popularity of "Little Roy" continues today. Like so many other players Roy used the E13th tuning but had his own sound that complimented Eddy Arnold's singing style. Many players still use this tuning and is your chance to see and hear the sounds that made Roy popular. And more importantly, "You will be able to duplicate his musical arrangements" by use of the tablature in this book. The tablature will allow even the novice to play these arrangements as it is presented in a very simple manner. Any serious minded fan of "Little" Roy Wiggins will want his book!
