Here is FREE TABLATURE and FREE SHEET MUSIC for the Banjo, Guitar, Mandolin, Bass, Dobro, Fiddle, Cello and Viola! This has been a very popular page over the years and is always in a constant state of construction. It is the official 'Archives'.

The songs are posted below alphabetically. If there is no play-along mp3, then it doesn't exist. What is posted below is what I have. When I first started this web site, server space was limited and there was not enough room for these audio files. Now, my server is much larger and all of the newer songs will have multiple, play-along mp3s and video files.

As the older files are updated, mp3s will be included. When this is the case, or will be posted next to it. Sometimes, the files on this page will be deleted altogether for a new project.

If you enjoy this page, be sure to visit the What's New page. This is were I post my very latest arrangements (Song of the Month and The Workshop) sheet music, tablatures, play-along mp3s and videos.

At the VERY BOTTOM of this page, Free Lessons, Instrument information, articles on Music Theory and everything in-between will be posted for free download.

NOTE: All of the files posted on this page are for personal and private study and are not to be published or sold for profit.

Free Lessons, Instrument information, Music Theory and everything in-between

There are MANY files and articles that will be posted below. This page is in a constant state of construction and updates. The newest releases are posted on the What's New page, then the files are stored here in the 'Archives'.


 

Music Theory and Improvising with Pentatonics

Below is a video discussion of Pentatonics and how they are used to improvise a solo lead. This is good material for a first year student. Although I am using the Mandolin in the tutorial, this theory can be applied to any instrument.

These videos are large files so, a faster Internet connection will be necessary to download it. The files are compressed with winrar in the DivX codec (see below). It is free download for your enjoyment and education but not for re-sale.

More information and lessons on Music Theory, as applied to the Mandolin can be found in the series, Essential Theory for the Mandolin.

Enjoy the lesson!

Fiddle

How to read 'Fiddle Tablature'

How to play Vibrato on the Fiddle The two video clips below are a free download to illustrate 'Vibrato Technique' as explained in the book, 'Fiddle Volume 1


 

Free Dobro Lessons:

Getting Started on the Dobro (Resophonic Guitar)

To promote the new release of Dobro Volume 1, a new video tutorial series of FREE Dobro lessons has been prepared.

These eBooks include the

1. Video Lesson

2. Play-along mp3 files and

3. the PDF tablatures

Combining these three teaching materials will reinforce the concepts learned from the video presentation. My recommendation would be to avoid reading the PDF files at the beginning. The tablature is included directly onto the video so you can watch and play along with the program. Use tablature only as a reference. You will get more out of the program by watching, listening and playing along with me on the video and audio recordings. The PDF and mp3 files are included in each eBook as they are presented. Although program was written with the first year Dobro student in mind, the seasoned player may also find some useful tips and techniques along the way.

The song example, 'Don't This Road Look Rough and Rocky' will be used throughout the program analyzing the backup and solo possibilities. The techniques and theory for this tune can also be applied to other songs.

The total program playing time is 90 minutes (4 Parts). The files are rather large so (170 - 180 meg), you will need a faster Internet connection for downloading and you will need 7-Zip installed to open them. You will need the DivX codec to play them back on your computer. Click here for more information about these programs, the eBooks and what you can do with them.
