Craig Duncan: Complete Fiddling Book (Book/Online Video)
Mel Bay's Complete Fiddling Book is a compilation of arrangements of traditional tunes by several outstanding practitioners of the art of Fiddle playing: Craig Duncan, Bill Guest, Dave Reiner, Frank Zucco, and Joe Castle . From The Arkansas Traveler to The Yellow Rose of Texas , over 300 colourful Fiddle tunes populated this book's 205 pages. Scant on text or historical notes, but long on musical content, the Complete Fiddling Book is a great resource for any Fiddler or teacher in search of a delightful, toe-tapping repertoire. Although most of the tunes are written for solo Fiddle, the last ten pieces are arranged as Fiddle duets. A masterful solo collection presenting a vivid assortment of Fiddling styles and repertoire. Included in the online video, Fiddler Craig Duncan and Guitarist Robert Bowlin perform 34 favourite tunes which are played at a slow and medium tempo to demonstrate many Fiddling techniques. Split-screen filming features close-up angles of both the left hand and the bow. This video is the perfect companion to the Complete Fiddling Book, bringing the teacher right into your living room. • Compilation of arrangements of traditional tunes • Over 300 colourful Fiddle tunes populate the 205 pages • Most for solo Fiddle, but the last ten pieces are arranged as Fiddle duets • Intermediate to advanced in difficulty • A split-screen companion online video of 34 tunes performed by Craig Duncan and Guitarist Robert Bowlin .
