Shetland Session Tunes - Fiddle Frenzy Coll Volume 2 (Book+CD)

Shetland Session Tunes - Fiddle Frenzy Collection Volume 2 (Book+CD: This collection contains some of the 'standard' sets that you may hear at a session; the very basics for taking part in a good night of tunes. Many of the sets were put together by the late Dr Tom Anderson and played by the 'Forty Fiddlers', now known as Shetland Fiddlers Society, and Shetland's Young Heritage, now known as the Heritage Fiddlers. The regular playing of them by these groups, and the generations of fiddlers that have gone through their ranks, has made them the well known sets we know today.

The book features  the music notation plus chords for10 sets of session  tunes. The accompanying CD features the tunes played slowly and then latterly up to speed. An excellent way to learn at your own pace. The first 31 tracks on the CD are each individual tune played once through slowly with no accompaniment, to help players who learn better by ear than the written note. Tracks 32-41 are the sets as they appear in the book with guitar accompaniment. There's even a 'tuning' track  to help you tune your fiddle to the CD!
