The Fiddler's Green Book of Accompaniment : What to Play When You Don't Know the Tune

We have all been to parties and music sessions where unfamiliar tunes or songs are played.
Often our reaction is to lay the fiddle down and wait till we are back on solid ground.
But there are fiddlers who keep playing even though they aren’t playing the melody.
They have found notes that sound fine next to the real melody.

The aim of this book is to develop some musical strategies to help us keep playing even when we don’t know the tune.

Fiddler's Accompaniment

Since we published Canadian Old-Time Fiddle Hits Volume 1 more than ten years ago, hundreds of fiddle players have made all three volumes
an important part of their fiddling repetoire. We now have these Volumes available in eBook format.
When we receive your order, the book in PDF format (eBook) will be emailed to you. CDs for each Volume are available separately in jewel case.
