A surprising range of bluegrass tunes, broken down into simple patterns for you to start slow and build speed. The accompanying cd is awesome because it has the fiddle line to play along with - and then a track with a back-up bluegrass band playing everything *but* the fiddle line so you can learn about playing in a group. Kinda like fiddle karaoke.
