Adam Granger self-published the first edition of Grangerâ??s Fiddle Tunes for Guitar in 1979. A second edition was published in 1994. Now Mel Bay Publications presents the third edition of the book.
This 236-page book is the most extensive and best-documented collection of fiddle tunes for the flatpicking guitar player in existence, and includes reels, hoedowns, hornpipes, rags, breakdowns, jigs and slip-jigs, presented in Southern, Northern, Irish, Canadian, Texas and Old-time styles.
There are 508 fiddle tunes referenced under 2500 titles and alternate titles. The titles are fully indexed, making the book doubly valuable as a reference book and a source book.
In this new edition, all tunes are typeset, instead of being handwritten as they were in the previous editions, making the tabs easier to read.
The tunes in Grangerâ??s Fiddle Tunes for Guitar are presented in Easytab, a streamlined tablature notation system designed by Adam specifically for fiddle tunes.
The book comes with a link which gives access to mp3 recordings by Adam of all 508 tunes, each played once at a moderate tempo, with rhythm on one channel and lead on the other.
Also included in Grangerâ??s Fiddle Tunes for Guitar are instructions for reading Easytab, descriptions of tune types presented in the book, and primers on traditional flatpicking and rhythm guitar. Additionally, there are sections on timing, ornamentation, technique, and fingering, as well as information on tune sources and a history of the collection.
Mel Bay also offers The Granger Collection, by Bill Nicholson, the same 508 tunes in standard music notation.

Hand profiles not only present advantages and limitations, but also offer help with the explanation of performance-technical problems, thus making it a key to individual playing technique. The reader can evaluate hands independently by using the measuring sheets included in the book. All this is based on the only existing systematic documentation of data concerning musicians' hands which Christoph Wagner, the founder and long time director of the Institute for Music Physiology at the Musikhochschule Hannover, has published here for the first time in an enlightening context. Hand und Instrument is an instructional method, a reference work and a book of tips and advice all in one - for teachers, musicians, instrument makers, physicians and physiotherapists. It grew out of the collaboration with musicians and can be understood without any previous technical knowledge.Interesting reviews under www.musikerhand.de.Further music teaching handbooks are Umfassend Musizieren by Andreas Doerne, Handbuch Uben edited by Ulrich Mahlert and Mensch, Musik und Bildung by Michael Dartsch.People's hands are different, as we all know.
