 Generally folk music doesn't have complicated rhythms. 
 You can use other libaries like "EasySwing", but if 
 you are into finger picking guitar, give this a try.

DefGroove Folk  A very simple pattern to set against old songs. Uses a \
                random Tambourine to liven things up a bit. Wear something \
                tie-dyed when you use this.
