Tony Trischka Master Collection of Fiddle Tunes for Banjo

Bought this for my daughter who is trying to expand her collection on her banjo. It was just what she wanted. Lots of great songs.

love the book, love the mp3 files online. i'm really a beginner so this will last me a long time. however, i can see the cover not lasting very long. maybe i'll cover it in something., wish it was more cardboard like..but great to have a spiral binding, an amazing selection of tunes. in any case, worth it!!!

this is the best value and collection of well tabbed banjo music in one volume that i have found in 30 years. i reluctantly paid $35 (2013) and it is well worth every penny twice over. it is obviously put together with heart and quality, and has a very brief but interesting description of each song's history and playing style. if you have played for a while, you probably already play some of these songs BUT it is worth the price alone to see some amazing and brilliant tabs on these old favorites. there are also a ton of songs id either never heard of, or hadn't heard of in years. it has an amazing amount of content and is a BIG book. it has some very basic stuff (which sounds fantastic) and tons also for the "lifer". i have used this book for countless hours and have not even tried the cds. that is how nicely this book is tabbed. i promise, i dont work for Trischka but this may be the best banjo tab compilation that exists! many (most) tab books seem cold and difficult to follow. this book is warm, inviting, easy to read, and obviously put together by someone who truly understands and loves the banjo. bravooliver mullins; johnstown, colorado

This is one of the most fantastic gifts to give a banjo player. This book will give a lifetime of joy to any serious picker. From the intermediate to the advanced player, you will be pleased. Thank you very much Mr. Trishka for this outstanding book.

This should be the standard for banjo music books. Actually it should be the standard for all music books! Spiral binding makes it easy to view the music without having to fight to keep it open. Nice size type and tab. A bit pricey but I would happily pay a little more for quality binding and large tabs. Very worth the price.

This book is full of great fiddle tunes. Very happy with it.

The kindle version is worthless. Too small and not able to enlarge or print. Both kindle and Mel Bay know of the problem with response so far.

Book has just arrived, but it comes with the 2 CDs too. Lots of very well laid out tunes. I've not heard of most of them, but then I'm pretty new (1 year) to the banjo.As it says, it's spiral bound, so the pages don't close on you. The tabs are well laid out, with ALL the right hand fingering marked. There are notes on all tunes. These include history of the tune & notes on left-hand fingering. Each one also tells you which track it is on one of the two disks.They are arranged alphabetically within style, which, if like me, you want to pick out the easier ones first, isn't ideal, but it's the obvious choice for those who want to play a tune that they've heard.All in all, I think I'm going to have many years fun exploring this book.

There is an address and code to download music content in MP3. I tried and no joy. I went to their help site, no use , same and same. If anyone cares letters l/c.

Awesome book. Fantastic range of tunes for all abilities, with information on the tunes, clear tabs and 2 CD's with all the tunes played by Tony himself. Great value for money, and delivered quickly.

Brilliant.

This book is a real labour of love by a real master of the 5 string banjo. A must have for anyone interested in playing Fiddle tunes in scruggs style on the banjo. There are multiple versions of tunes along with interesting notes on each tune. Add to basket!
