Scores + hand position photos

The book is intended for both beginner and more advanced players. It is arranged in the following way: at the beginning of each song scores is provided a photo of the hand position the player is supposed to obtain.
Thus, before you start playing the instrument you can check whether your hand is pressing the right strings.
Below the photo are written the scores of the song intended for playing, as there are also provided the song lyrics in Bulgarian.
The exercises provided are useful enough for learning how to play on the three main strings: second, third and first (this is how the exercises are arranged in the book).
