Good Book for new Fiddlers who can read musical notation
Reviewer: Matt McConeghy from Providence, Rhode Island January 13, 2000
We chose this book to be the standard for our Jam session in Providence because it has good versions of many popular old-timey, bluegrass and Celtic tunes. Most of the session players around here play in several styles. This book has versions of 500 tunes taken from authentic sources, and most of the versions are pretty similar to what you will hear in the local sessions, so you can learn tunes from the book and be pretty certain that you will be able to play along when you hear the tune at the festival, in the bar or wherever.
The author listed record or CD sources that you can get to listen to the tunes, so you can check the notation against the playing of well-known musicians such as Tommy Jarrell, Bob Wills, etc. The tunes are arranged alphabetically, so it is always easy to find what you want. This is a very useful and well-done book.
