Introduction
This book is a collection of fiddle tunes transcribed from the playing
of Benny Thomasson. It contains Texas style breakdowns, waltzes, rags,
old time tunes and other pieces. I have transcribed the notes and bowing
from the original recordings as accurately as possible.
The tunes are not presented in order of difficulty. Some are more
difficult than others, but none are for the beginner. This book is advised for
intermediate and advanced players.
All position shifts I heard on the recordings are marked, with the
marking being over the first note in the new position. Sometimes Benny
would stretch a finger to a note in a higher position, but would not move his
hand up to the higher position. When this is the case, I dont indicate a
position change.
New sections of each tune are marked with double bar lines. All 4th
fingers I heard Benny play are marked when not obvious. Sometimes
fingering suggestions are indicated when Bennys fingerings are not obvious
on the recording.
Basic chords are given for each part the first time that part is
encountered.
Repeating chord patterns are not marked in new parts.
When learning each tune, play through the music slowly and closely
watch the bow directions! If you have the recording, listen many times and
try to copy Bennys sound.
A number of transcriptions of Benny also appear in the books Texas
Style Fiddle Transcriptions, Volume 1 and 2, by Peter Martin. For
information on this and other books, see www.petimarpress.com.
I would appreciate any comments you may have on this book. Drop
me a line at the address on the inside back cover. Thank you and good
music to all.

Many Thanks to:

Benny, for countless hours of inspiration and listening pleasure; Starr
McMullen, Bob Culver, Bruce Lites, Larry Brandon and Leah Larson for
their proof reading; Brad Pinkerton, Pinkerton Graphic Design, for the
drawings and the jokes; Carol for her support and love; Gary Lee Moore for
fiddling fun and Benny stories; all my fiddling friends. Last, thanks to
every musician I was inspired by and whom I have stolen tunes from.
