50 Tunes for Fiddle
Traditional, Old Time, Bluegrass, & Celtic Solos – Volume 1
by Mark Geslison

50 Tunes for Fiddle Volume 1 is one book in a 5-book series. The 50 Tunes series is a collection of Bluegrass, Old Time and Celtic tunes for ensembles, families and individuals. This book contains the same 50 tunes as those found in the other 4 books of the series, but carefully designed for the fiddle. The parts in this book range form beginner to advanced. All tunes contain a simple melody and most of the tunes contain an intermediate or advanced part. Many tunes contain a harmony part to match the melody. Since fiddle contests are a tradition in the American and Celtic fiddling, 50 Tunes for Fiddle Volume 1 contains hoedowns, waltzes, reels, rags, hornpipes, jigs, polkas, and airs. Some of the tunes are authentic to true championship fiddling and were arranged and recorded by a former national champion fiddler. Tunes recorded by full band, not all instruments featured in every song. Includes access to online audio. Guitar chord symbols written above the melody.
