Dan Levenson has put together a handy tunebook for fans of old time fiddle and banjo music, published by Mel Bay.
Though titled Old-Time Favorites for Clawhammer Banjo, the book (with a pair of audio CDs) contains transcriptions of both banjo tab and fiddle melody for 62 popular and more obscure tunes.
In fact, each tune contains three musical examples: the basic fiddle melody, and both a basic and more advanced banjo arrangement. One of the accompanying CDs contains recordings of the fiddle versions, and the other the banjo tabs.
Tunes included are:table tr {background:white;}
