The Curtis Mayfield Guitar Songbook

Alfred is pleased to release the latest guitar songbook featuring some of the greatest hits from legendary musician Curtis Mayfield. A pioneer in his field, Mayfield’s musical talent and social commentary have been celebrated for decades, and now they are available for every guitarist to learn!

From his work with The Impressions through his classic soundtrack for Superfly, Curtis Mayfield helped shape and define the sound of classic soul music. While most people knew him as a brilliant songwriter and soul singer, his talent extended to include incredible guitar skills as well. Curtis Mayfield's gentle guitar style quietly influenced an entire generation of guitarists, specifically the much-loved ballad style of the famous Jimi Hendrix. In 1995, Mayfield was awarded the extraordinary Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award; he has also been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Vocal Group Hall of Fame.

The Curtis Mayfield Guitar Songbook is now available for $22.95. Get your copies today at your local retail store, or visit alfred.com for the location nearest you.
