Default Celtic Music Books with TABS

Hi All--

I'm into my journey of learning guitar in later life, and my goal is to learn beautiful Celtic tunes in fingerstyle. I've been searching for a book that includes TABs, I can read music but at this point in my life, I play for enjoyment and find the TABS just plain easier to follow. (I've had no luck at the music store or online thus far.) Can anyone recommend any instruction books that are good for this genre of music? Beginner, celtic, with tabs? Thanks!

Here you are: https://www.amazon.com/Celtic-Guitar.../dp/0739040618
Though it's probably more intermediate than beginner. Just practice slowly and it'll come. The CD will help.

Jim Tozier has a good Celtic book (with CD) also.

Excellent suggestion - why Jim Tozier is not better known is a shame: very nice, "clean" arrangements on both the CDs I have of his. The book is very nice too.

++++1 for Jim Tozier. He's a forum member so maybe he'll chime in! But, his arrangements are just beautiful. I believe he is or at least was teaching High School these days. Franco Morone's "South Wind" book is also fantastic....

Stephen Wake is an exceptionally fine player of Celtic fingerstyle. His arrangements are advanced, but it's something to keep in mind. CDs and TAB available at:

https://stephenwake.bandcamp.com/

Also have a look at Glenn Weiser's material:

“Celtic crossing” by William Coulter is a nice book (lovely arrangement of Si Bheag Si Mhor..)
