Book Reviews of Beginning Old-Time Fiddle
Book Review: A must have for the beginner!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has been around since it was first published in the late 1970's and is well worth adding to the beginner's list of books for both repertoire and technique. Having said that, it's not really a beginner's book in the method genre. What it has going for it is every tune is tabbed out along with standard notation giving the advancing beginner interesting and more complex arrangements of a great many of the fiddle tunes they most likely have already played in a more simple style. Additionally, Alan Kaufman has included practical tips and information on instrument selection, muting, a selected discography (unfortunately dated), an excellent section on technique (violin players will hate it!) and wonderful pictures of fiddlers past and present (at least present in 1977) including probably the worst picture of Maria Muldaur ever published.
This is an excellent addition to one's fiddlin' library.
