Product Description
Big Fun Easy Fiddle book was specially prepared for ease of use, maximum enjoyment, and optimum results. This fine book/CD set is an excellent guide to fiddling for absolute beginners. It is also a fine tunebook for first-year, emerging, and hobbyist fiddlers. Each tune is written in both standard notation AND tablature. Beginners who do not read music will learn from the tablature (number system), and fiddlers who can already read simple music will play using the notes. (The book is not a note-reading method. You do not need to know how to read music to use the book.) Excellent instructions and diagrams explain parts of the fiddle, how to hold the fiddle and bow, tablature, tuning, and more. A magic selection of 23 authentic fiddle tunes includes Granny Will Your Dog Bite, Pretty Saro, Cluck Old Hen, Green Corn, All Things Bright and Beautiful, Going to Boston, Lamplighter Hornpipe, In the Pines, more. The playalong CD includes every tune, plus count-in clicks and guitar accompaniment. Red Dog Music Books invites our customers to enjoy this outstanding book and CD at our direct-from-publisher discount price.

An ideal do-it-yourself at home instructional guide September 3, 2008
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The making of music is a benefit for both the musician and the audience. But before that can happen, aspiring musicians must learn the fundamentals of their instruments and gain a degree of expertise in their use. The fiddle has been a popular instrument through American frontier history and has the additional benefit of players being able to learn its use without formal training if they have a modicum of basic instruction. In "Big Fun Easy Fiddle Book", author and veteran music educator Larry McCabe draws upon his more than 30 years of experience and expertise to create a thoroughly 'user friendly' beginner's instruction manual that will enable anyone to learn how to paly traditional fiddle styles. Enhanced with an accompany CD and fully illustrated, the "Big Fun Easy Fiddle Book" includes notes and tablature. Beginners would also be able to 'play by ear' using the tablature (a number system) with each tune also being scored in standard notation for note readers. Also included is a helpful guide to fundamental, a varied selection of popular tunes, as well as chord symbols for accompaniment. The CD features all of the tunes in the book, played at a moderate speed with guitar accompaniment, and are a perfect way to hone and practice newly acquired skills. "Big Fun Easy Fiddle Book" is an ideal do-it-yourself at home instructional guide, and would make a welcome addition to school and community library Music Instruction reference collections.
