American Fiddle Method Volume 1 by Brian Wicklund

Includes a play-along CD or DVD of a whole band playing and singing the tunes.The fiddle is panned to the right channel of the stereo, so once you know the tune, using the balance knob of your stereo, you can turnoff that speaker and play along at home with your own back up band!

Meticulously crafted over ten years. Based on feedback from students and fellow teachers, Volume 1 went through 15 drafts until Brian decided it was ready for publication! Authentic tunes in standard keys - Step-by-step progression - Jamming skills - Tune variations - Guitar chords and lyrics - Classical violin friendly - Toe-tapping play-along CD.
