For guitar, piano, accordion, mandolin, etc

Description:

This 120 page book by Ryan Thomson contains chords for approximately 1450 tunes, including contra, square dance, old timey, Irish, French Canadian, Scottish, bluegrass, and common jam session tunes, including hoedowns, reels, jigs, waltzes, hornpipes, rags, and more. Tunes are arranged alphabetically to find easily. The format is easy to read and consists of chords specified by capital letters and arranged in the order of the parts of each tune.

I carry the smaller size version in my fiddle case so that when I jam with other musicians, they'll know what chords go best with my fiddle tunes. Guitar, banjo, mandolin, or piano players often carry one so that they can play along with fiddlers and other melody instruments. When I play piano accompaniment to fiddlers I set a copy of my book right in front of me on the piano so that I can read the chords and play them right along with the fiddler or the rest of the band. The larger size has larger print for easier reading.
