Kenny Hall's Music Book: Old Time Music - Fiddle & Mandolin
Author: Kenny Hall
Publisher: Mel Bay Publications
ISBN: 1610650778
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
Since the 1960's here has been an extraordinary revival of old-time string band music in California, and indeed throughout the American West. Despite being born blind, Kenny Hall has been a mainstay of many fiddle festivals and of the Western fiddle and string band revival in general. Kenny's musical style is passionate and energetic. This book is a helpful guide to his vast repertoire learned through years of careful listening. It is also a wonderful addition to the fiddler's bookshelf and a fitting tribute to a man who, for many an aspiring fiddler, has been a friend, guide, exemplar, and patron. Many of the tunes includes nonsense lyrics that Kenny used to help him remember the melody, and each tune is accompanied by Kenny's comments. the book is divided into five chapters: fiddle- based tunes (Fiddle Faddle), mandolin-based tunes (Rags, Tags, and Wags), Waltzes, tunes from an origin other than the United States or the British Isles (Kenny's Rambles); and vocal-based pieces including lyrics (Songs, Ballads, Ditties). Some of the transcriptions are written primarily for fiddle or mandolin, but most tunes can be performed on either instrument. This deluxe guide to Kenny Hall's vast repertoire offers fans of old-time music a great way to get to know Kenny and his music.

The Complete Book of Old-Time Fiddle Tunes for Appalachian Dulcimer
Author: Mark Nelson
Publisher: Mel Bay Publications
ISBN: 1513459120
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 88
Book Description
With over 70 fiddle tunes arranged for Appalachian dulcimer, this book includes both common session tunes that everyone should know and a handful of obscure gems. The tunes include a representative collection of what people are playing in the current old-time music scene. The author has indicated the source of the tune when known, plus notes on achieving the proper feel and playing style. Although a few of the arrangements are real finger-twisters, most are well within the reach of the intermediate dulcimer player. Some tunes are written for old-time “noter” style playing, some are best fretted with your fingers. All of the arrangements include suggested chords for guitar or other instruments. One or two include lyrics; most do not. Old-time tunes tend to be played in fiddle-friendly keys like D, G, A (major and minor), and C. Although you can play in most of those keys out of DAD tuning, the music really comes alive when you re-tune and let those drones ring. Tunings include DAA, DAD, DGD, AAA and more. The author includes notes on how to re-tune your dulcimer, as well as alternative tunings for some of the tunes. The author says, “This book represents the fruits of over fifty years spent chasing down a good tune.” Includes access to online audio of all of the tunes played on solo dulcimer.

Pages : 185
Book Description
Gaius Beldarus has been crowned the regent of the Kobold Kingdom, and his first act is to ensure the livelihood of these peaceful forest-dwellers. Wyatt, knight of House Zigan, vowed vengeance on Gaius for having thwarted his assault against the kobolds by the Ryburgh Adventurers’ Guild. Worse yet, Gaius’s mere presence throws a spanner in the works of the nobles whose machinations may yet determine the future rulers of the Southern Kingdoms. Wyatt has rounded up an army of the worst mercenary thugs money can buy, murderers, thieves, and butchers all; in short, “adventurers.” With these heartless fighters at his back, and armed with dangerous magics, he is determined that the second attack on the kobold village will leave no survivors. Vastly outnumbered, the kobolds can only turn to their new King and his small coterie of devoted followers to lead their people through the oncoming war against them. Blood, sweat, blood, tears, and more blood will be shed in this war for survival.
