Dan Levenson's Master Collection of Old-Time Tunes

Book excerpt: Whether you already play old-time music, or you are just getting started, this is the book for you. Dan Levenson’s Master Collection of Old-Time Tunes presents more than 300 tunes in standard notation with suggested chords for you to explore and enjoy. All but a few are traditional or older tunes and are easily searched online to discover their pedigree as well as several recorded versions of them. Some might call this a complete repertoire in a book in the following sense: It is a large (though not encyclopedic) collection of old-time fiddle tunes played in today’s sessions. Learning the tunes in this book will give you a solid old-time repertoire that would allow you to join in jams in the many communities playing old-time music today.
