12 More Fiddle Tunes

Here's a bunch more, pretty common in these parts (Kansas City.) Where possible I have verified the progressions against Brody's Fiddler's Fakebook. Though Brody normally transcribes tunes as in 4/4, in most cases I have indicated 2/4 by way of conveying the two-beat rhythm a fiddle tune typically has. I see now that 2/2 would have been better, since there are typically eight notes per bar; but bassists hardly have to worry about that.

Any corrections or amendments anyone can offer would be very welcome.

Sharing Playlists

Nice list.

Imagine for a moment if every member posted the same songs in *random* playlists over and over starting separate threads each time. The Forums would quickly become overloaded with duplicates and be un-searchable.

Also, because of slight differences in the charts, downloading the various playlists can result in many duplicate titles in your library.

Please use the search feature (magnifying glass icon at the top of the page) to check before posting duplicates in the main forums.

Post personal playlists of previously posted charts in the SANDBOX forum.
Admin will purge posts in the sandbox from time to time.
To archive your playlists, use personal email, Dropbox etc.

The main song forums are for the benefit of all and you are encouraged to share NEW songs and arrangements.
Remember to include composer information on charts posted in the main forums.

It's best to share NEW (to the forums) songs ONE AT A TIME (in the most appropriate forum) in their own (titled) thread to make them easy to find, download and discuss.

Share different versions of already posted tunes in the discussion thread for that song. If there's not a thread for that title, you can start one. (Title: <song title - composer name(s)>)

It's also ok to share a playlist of songs by a single band/artist/composer.
(Identified in the title)

Please use the SANDBOX for personal use, gig-lists, transfers and testing.

Thanks for sharing your list.
