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.
