Granger's Fiddle Tunes for Guitar
The Book, CDs and, yes, even cassettes
|
Granger's Fiddle Tunes for Guitar is the flagship of the Granger Publications catalog. It was first published in 1979, and has become a necessary tool for flatpickers all over the world. Sometime around 1990, Adam supplemented the book with cassette recordings of every tune. He has since created a set of CDs with all of the tunes. The combination of both written and recorded media allows any player to get the tunes into their heads and under their fingers. As Adam says, "With Granger's Fiddle Tunes for Guitar, you can learn a tune a week for ten years."

Companion Recordings--Seven-CD Set
|
The seven-CD set contains all 508 tunes in Granger’s Fiddle Tunes for Guitar. Each tune is announced, then played through once at a moderate tempo, with lead on one channel and rhythm on the other. If you’re resistant to modern technology, we’ve still got Companion Cassette Sets: five 90-minute cassette tapes that contain all 508 tunes from Granger’s Fiddle Tunes for Guitar. Of course, you’ll have to hit rewind instead of looping, but that’s the thing about cassettes, isn't it? |
