Good instructional books

Sunday, July 1, 2012

So does anybody have any good instructional books that they have found?  I've been looking for something that isn't the beginning book, but what comes after that.  I got my husband a great banjo book by Tony Trischa for Christmas, and it is great at compiling the different styles.  Kind of works you thru exercises, and tools to learn.  I wish that I could find the equivalent for that book for fiddle playing.  Found lots of beginner books, how to hold your bow and all that, but I need something with all the stuff after that, need something that does a good job of showing the next step.

 

Any suggestions??

Thanks much!!

Been really excited about Bluegrass music lately. Went to a couple of Bluegrass festivals as a kid, and I think that a seed was planted there that germinated 30 years later. Had a little piano and what not as a kid, hated having to practice. But picked up a fiddle recently after my husband got a banjo, and I really wish that I had discovered it a lot sooner. Guess as a kid I just wasn't ready to play music. Just want to try to connect with people, and compare notes, get some helpful tips.
