NASHVILLE, TENN. — Bluegrass Jam Standard Fiddle Tune Favorites is the title of a new print book with standard notation and tablature for mandolin by Tristan Scroggins.
The book, available in both print and digital through the author's Bandcamp site, features a curated selection of the 10 most common tunes played in bluegrass jams with three increasingly complex versions of each tune.
These include a simple version of the melody, an intermediate version, and a complex version with different accents and variations. These versions can be mixed together in different ways to create hundreds of variations suitable for any jam! In addition, a brief history of each tune is included along with various recommended listening that can all be found online.
Samples are available on the author's web site.
