Finally, the third edition!
Granger's Fiddle Tunes for Guitar
Typeset. . .no more scrawl!
|
Granger's Fiddle Tunes for Guitar is the flagship of the Granger Publications catalog. It was first published in 1979, and has proven to be a valuable tool for flatpickers everywhere.
Typesetting the 507 tunes was a hand process. There are programs for conventional tablature, but not for Adam's Easytab, so each note of each tune had to be entered by hand. The Third Edition of Granger's Fiddle Tunes for Guitar is what Adam did with his covid vacation. •This edition contains the same 507 bluegrass, southern, old-time, Irish, Texas, Canadian, French-Canadian and Cape Breton tunes as earlier editions of GFTFG. •The tunes are written in Easytab: like regular tab, but easier. •It's the largest collection of fiddle tunes in guitar tab. •It includes over 2,500 fully indexed and cross-referenced titles. •Text material includes a flatpick tutorial, backup guitar instruction, and information on ornamentation, fingering and timing. •It's ideal as a reference book or a source book. •With Granger's Fiddle Tunes for Guitar, you can learn a tune a week for ten years. |
