This 74-page book and CD set will help you learn to play the fiddle! The book features tablature and standard music notation for each tune as well as accompaniment chords. It is bound so that it will lie flat on your music stand with pages that are easy to turn.

Customer Comments: "Cindy, I have just purchased your Old Time Fiddling Book 2. I have the Old Time Fiddling Book 1 and is by far the best "self-teaching" book I have. (my dog doesn't run away anymore). Thanks for a excellent product." B.B.; Barrington, NH.
