Dave Haas - Fun Fiddle Tunes

This workbook/2-CD set was written for all who aspire to improve their playing of fiddle tunes, and other tunes with a fast tempo, and build their repertoire of songs. The book is more than a collection of fiddle tunes - it provides over 2 hours of detailed written and audio instruction of the left and right hand techniques needed to play quickly, cleanly, and smoothly. The workbook consists of 32 popular fiddle tune arrangements and 11 exercises which build the skills necessary to play fiddle tunes and other fast songs on the mountain dulcimer. Many of the tunes included are those played in jam sessions and at club meetings. Also included is a description of first and second position backup chords, and how to use the "chop" to liven up your backup accompaniment. All of the instruction, tunes and exercises are referenced to the accompanying 2-CD set, which allows the listener to play along with the instructor while learning to bring forth lively fiddle tunes from the mountain dulcimer. 56 pages.
