4.0 out of 5 stars
Great for learning bluegrass fiddle!,
By Graig Meyer (Chapel Hill, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Teach Yourself Bluegrass Fiddle (Paperback)
This book is designed for someone who already has at least a basic knowledge of how to play fiddle/violin. It will help you learn how to read music, and has very good descriptions of several bowing techniques. It includes numerous classic fiddle songs. Perhaps the most valuable aspect of the book is that for most songs it tells you not only the melody, but also a suggested way to play backup for each song and a suggested way to play a break/solo to accompany the song. Therefore, it will keep you entertained by allowing you to play with a song in a number of ways, either by yourself or with a band.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great for getting into bluegrass fiddling!,
By Mellonia "Goddess of the Bees" (Northern California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Teach Yourself Bluegrass Fiddle W/cd (Paperback)
I agree with the other reviews, this is definitely not intended for players with no violin/fiddle experience. However, for someone who already knows how to play and wants to venture into bluegrass, it's perfect. Each tune has sheet music with backup and breaks, plus the cd has each tune twice - once with the fiddle and once without. The tempos are good - challenging but not impossible. It's like having a very patient band behind you - they never get tired!
