(Homespun Tapes). This groundbreaking lesson was recorded in 1984, when the now world-renowned Mark O'Connor was just 22 years old. He teaches the three fiddle tunes a player would need for most fiddle contests: a breakdown (Wild Fiddler's Rag); a waltz (Skater's Waltz); and a tune of choice (Soppin' the Gravy). The techniques and stylistic nuances that Mark covers on this extraordinary session will benefit all learning fiddle players. Extra: Each tune is performed, contest-style, by Mark and a crack Nashville band. LEVEL 4 * INCLUDES MUSIC BOOKLET ON DISC * 60 MIN.

Book Description
"Transcribed and edited by one of Herman Johnson's former students, this book offers 39 solos in the inimitable smooth, precise, and innovative Johnson style. Inspired in his youth by Bob Wills of the Texas Playboys, Johnson learned tunes by listening to records and the radio. At 16, he successfully auditioned to play in Willis' band, but was then too young to join the musicians union. Johnson went on to a distinguished career as a performer and contest fiddler, winning the National Fiddling Championship in Weiser, Idaho five times, the only player to reign undefeated each year he entered the contest. He also won the Grand Masters Championship in Nashville. Many of the intermediate to advanced-level selections in this collection were drawn from Johnson's 1993 recording, Simply Perfect."
