Editorial Review: Product Description: Contains nearly 500 jigs, reels, rags, and hornpipes from all the major fiddling traditions. Special introductory materials on regional styles, bowing, and ornamentation. Includes an extensive discography. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Best book ever! This book has 99% of the songs being played!I'm really glad I bought this book. I'm just learning fiddle style music, and this book really helps at the jam sessions. When everyone else knows the tune, I can cheat and play right along with them. Eventually, I'll know the tunes. Great Book! Rating: - Great fiddle book! This is a great book of fiddle music. There's easy music, there's harder music and there's stuff I probably won't attempt for awhile. The only thing I could want is a CD of the songs. You won't be disappointed in this book.

The only other down-side I found is that if you use it as frequently as I do, the pages eventually ...

Arrangements are pretty true to what I have "heard" in live performances. Presented in alpabetical order. This book and the "Portland Collection" volumes will keep you playing and learning for quite some time !
