Review: Before I start with my review of this book let me first disclose that I had the good fortune of knowing Dick Fegy as a teacher, a band mate, and most importantly, as a great friend... He is hands down the best musician that I have ever known. So, about this book... it's great if you're willing to do some homework. Like maybe check out Fegy's work on a variety of David Bromberg's recordings. He was all about TONE ! This is a collection of eclectic fiddle tunes that are more about finesse than they are about flash. It's a solid investment for any serious student of the guitar. – John O'Kennedy/Amazon Customer Review

Review: This book made me a better guitarist. I never met Dick Fegy, but I was lucky enough to see the massive David Bromberg Band in all its over-stuffed majesty in the '70s. It was THE most versatile band ever to take a stage playing everything from electric blues-rock to Celtic hornpipes to bluegrass breakdown to acoustic folk with perfect authenticity. Bromberg is a master multi-instrumentalist, but Dick Fegy was his secret weapon, playing everything and anything with strings flatpicking, fingerpicking, electric, acoustic, guitar mandolin banjo - he was brilliant at it all. One of the best musicians of any genre I've ever seen in my life. And he remains the most tragically underrated roots musician I know of. He's gone, but he left a few recordings behind, some instructional tapes and this book. Nowadays, most players follow the White/Rice school, with a little Doc and Norman thrown in. But Dick Fegy had his own unique way, and any guitarist who can work through his tricky arrangements will benefit from this book. I know I did. – Larry Nager/Amazon Customer Review
