| Customer Rating: | | I am a bluegrass banjo picker, and I can only read tablature. This book contains no tab, only traditional music notation, so it is absolutely useless for me. Tom S. |
Notes, lyrics, chords and notation for over 200 favorite songs
| Customer Rating: | Richard L. Matteson Jr. is a dedicated author and teacher, most known for his books, articles and workshops on fingerstyle guitar. From Winston-Salem, N.C., the president of the Piedmont Classic Guitar Society is also an active performer and director of guitar studies at Winston-Salem State University. He created The Bluegrass Messengers as a vehicle for his students to gain performance experience.
Seeing a need for a songbook that includes notes, lyrics, chords and standard notation, Matteson compiled over 200 favorite bluegrass and gospel songs. Some are also considered old-time (Hog-Eyed Man, Girl I Left Behind Me, Sally Ann, Arkansas Traveler, Skillet Good and Greasy). Matteson even includes his own "Bluegrass Boogie." The 247-page Bluegrass Picker's Tune Book easily meets a need for repertoire, emphasizing many songs that date back to the turn of the century and including info on their origin, dating and references for recorded versions. Large print for the lyrics also make them easy to read. While some are certainly included (e.g. Goin' Down This Road Feelin' Bad), the many hits of Bill Monroe, Stanley Brothers, Flatt & Scruggs, and other bluegrass luminaries are noticeably absent. Matteson says that it was difficult just to pick 213 songs, and he may produce a supplemental volume. (Joe Ross, staff writer, Bluegrass Now) |
