"The superb transcriptions in this collection can be accurately described as an in-depth study of the beautiful and complex Texas fiddle style...very impressive collection...beautifully and clearly printed...ideal source to learn from in preparation for contest playing. It is of course highly recommended." Devil's Box Magazine
This 108 page, book contains breakdowns, waltzes, rags, polkas, show tunes, and hornpipes common to Texas style playing.
Many Texas Style tune books are incomplete, with either inaccurate bow markings or simplified versions. However "Texas Style Fiddle Transcriptions, Volume 1" contain accurate note for note transcriptions from recordings, including accurate bowing notation. This way you are certain of learning authentic Texas fiddling. Many of these versions are only available from this book. |
