This book/CD package is designed to help aspiring session players learn the basic melody for 10 bluegrass standards.

The tunes are not meant to be played literally, but to give a basic outline you can spice up with your own licks and improvisations while jamming along with the backing tracks on the CD. Tunes are played slowly and up-to-speed.

Included are: "Arkansas Traveler," "Salty Dog Blues," "Old Joe Clark," "Soldier's Joy," "Devil's Dream," more. Useful for guitarists, fiddlers, mandolinists, or banjo players. Notation only, with chord frames. Spiralbound.

Made for the intermediate player wanting to learn to play with a backup band.
