The Fiddler's fakebook
(Book)

Includes chord symbols.

"Contains nearly 500 jigs, reels, rags, hornpipes, and breakdowns from all the major fiddling traditions. Special introductory materials on regional styles, bowing, and ornamentation"--Cover.

The enormous wealth of material in the Fiddler's Fakebook makes it more than a reference book to be left on the shelf. You will find it helpful in any playing situation--from a square dance to an informal gathering of friends. You can study it page by page learning those tunes that particularly strike your fancy. But perhaps most importantly, you can have a great deal of fun just sitting down and playing through these remarkable monuments to the traditional musician's art.
