This book presents a general survey of American fiddling.
The author's intent is to teach the basics of fiddling by
beginning with essential bowings and fingerings, and
progressing from simple to more complex renditions of tunes.
As fiddling is an aural tradition and fiddlers from
different parts of the country play a given tune in many
ways, tunes included in this book are offered only as
renditions rather that exact statements of the tunes
themselves. The author has attempted to present usable
fingerings, bowings and explanations of each of the 49 tunes
in this book. The end result is the most widely-used fiddle
method available!
