C. Brooks Said: Not for "beginning" beginners May. 5th 2010
While this seems same a good book to ingest for acquisition this style, it really doesn't seem same it is meant for beginners. The songs are fun, but if you don't know how to play and are looking for a rattling base intro aggregation like I am then this may not be the aggregation you want.
janie Said: Etude book Sep. 13th 2009
Useful as an etude or method book; beatific tunes for practicing, but I conceive one would requirement a teacher to get the most out of the material, so not rattling "teach yourself" -- that is, modify if you crapper already endeavor violin, having a actual mortal exhibit you limited bluegrass techniques really helps. Playing along with the CD is fun, but the tempos are a taste hurried for someone new to the style. I would give the product five stars if the CD included andante wad versions as well.
Tom Said: Teach yourself the style, not the instrument Mar. 3rd 2008
I same this aggregation rattling much, but I crapper already feature music. Also, I crapper already play the string with whatever proficiency. This would be a horrible book to essay to move with if you didn't have fiddle experience, but in terms of getting a feel for grass music when you come from a classical background, I conceive it's very effective. I would recommend it as an launching to the style, not to the helper itself.
Thomas A. Michaels Said: "TEACH YOURSELF" IS THE KEY Nov. 9th 2006
A NICE COLLECTION OF BLUEGRASS TUNES, AND A GREAT ACCOMPANYING CD TO PLAY ALONG-- BUT YOU BETTER BE A RATHER ACCOMPLISHED FIDDLER BEFORE YOU TRY THESE TUNES--- DEFINITELY NOT FOR THE BEGINNER
B. Thowe Said: Challenging, enjoyable, fun... Mar. 10th 2006
I love this book. I've played violin for 10 years or so, but only fresh have I found an welfare in activity bluegrass. This book was amend for my situation; challenging, but not for life-long fiddlers either. I love the "breaks" that this book gives. Double-stops, slides, 16th note triplets, this book's got 'em. I really savor it.
