The Complete Book of Old-Time Fiddle Tunes for Appalachian Dulcimer by Mark Nelson Pdf

With over 70 fiddle tunes arranged for Appalachian dulcimer, this book includes both common session tunes that everyone should know and a handful of obscure gems. The tunes include a representative collection of what people are playing in the current old-time music scene. The author has indicated the source of the tune when known, plus notes on achieving the proper feel and playing style. Although a few of the arrangements are real finger-twisters, most are well within the reach of the intermediate dulcimer player. Some tunes are written for old-time “noter” style playing, some are best fretted with your fingers. All of the arrangements include suggested chords for guitar or other instruments. One or two include lyrics; most do not. Old-time tunes tend to be played in fiddle-friendly keys like D, G, A (major and minor), and C. Although you can play in most of those keys out of DAD tuning, the music really comes alive when you re-tune and let those drones ring. Tunings include DAA, DAD, DGD, AAA and more. The author includes notes on how to re-tune your dulcimer, as well as alternative tunings for some of the tunes. The author says, “This book represents the fruits of over fifty years spent chasing down a good tune.” Includes access to online audio of all of the tunes played on solo dulcimer.

Continuing the reissue of the classic Phillips Collection of Traditional American Fiddle Tunes - Volume 2, Favorite American Waltzes for Fiddle presents over 110 classic and lesser-known country waltzes from all parts of the United States, some with multiple versions.

Waltzes are played slowly enough to not be intimidating but also serve as effective and fun exercises for all violin students, not just fiddlers. the arrangements range from easy (single notes, first position) to advanced (double stops and upper positions). and they illustrate America's great tradition of fiddling.

Consider this the beginning of a new approach to an old music, and a point of departure for your own interpretations of tunes you love

Fiddle Tunes for Dulcimer-the Rights of Man by Mark Nelson Pdf

Recorded in 1979, "Fiddle Tunes for Dulcimer-The Rights of Man" (Kicking Mule Records #218) was one of the very first recordings to feature the Appalachian dulcimer as a lead instrument playing Appalchian, Celtic and European music. The Tab book spotlighted what was a brand new style of playing called "flatpicking." In the next few years, Kicking Mule Records released LPs by many of the country's top dulcimer players; including Holly Tannen, Bonnie Carol, Neal Helman, Janita Baker, Lois Hornbostel and Robert Force & Albert D'Ossche. Each one blazed a trail that influenced a whole new generation of dulcimer enthusiasts. This new facsimile edition of the long-lost book contains all twenty-three songs, playing notes, and illustrations exactly as they originaly appeared.
