5Best book ever! This book has 99% of the songs being played!  Sep 24, 2008
I'm really glad I bought this book. I'm just learning fiddle style music, and this book really helps at the jam sessions. When everyone else knows the tune, I can cheat and play right along with them. Eventually, I'll know the tunes. Great Book!

5Great fiddle book!   Jul 21, 2008
This is a great book of fiddle music. There's easy music, there's harder music and there's stuff I probably won't attempt for awhile. The only thing I could want is a CD of the songs. You won't be disappointed in this book.

4Jam bible  Jul 01, 2008
A must for those interested in building a repertoire of tunes for Bluegrass, Old-time, and Irish can't go wrong with this excellent collection of nearly 500 tunes in notation. The discography alone is worth the price. I have given away several dozen copies at jam sessions to encourage more diversity among my musician friends. More tunes than the similar mandolin and guitar versions.

4Fiddler fakebook great resource  Jan 12, 2008
This book is a wonderful resource for any fiddle or mandolin player who appreciates traditional American music. The songs are charted in standard musical notation, playable by either fiddle or mandolin, and many have chords included for accompanists. A caveat, tho' - This is not a TAB book - if you are not familiar with picking melodies on your instrument, you will not find fingering assistance in here. The only other down-side I found is that if you use it as frequently as I do, the pages eventually start to tear at the junction with the plastic binding! P.S. - if you like the mandolin piece they use on the Time Warner ads, look at Soldier's Joy!

5Great source of traditional and Irish tunes  Oct 02, 2007
This book has a great assortment of tunes ranging from traditional tunes, Irish and English favorites, French Canadian tunes, Bluegrass, and some Western swing tunes. Arrangements are pretty true to what I have "heard" in live performances. Presented in alpabetical order. This book and the "Portland Collection" volumes will keep you playing and learning for quite some time !
