The Fiddler’s Fakebook

The book includes over 500 tunes from various traditions: bluegrass, old-time, Irish, Texas style, and others. Many commonly played tunes are included in this compilation. If you purchase this book, try to find a spiral bound version — it will be easier to prop it up on a music stand and keep flat. This is the book I’ve referred to the most and is also a favorite of jam friends.
