I have lots of fiddle tablature and I'm just now learning how to transpose from musical notes to tablature. I still can't read music by site that fast! If you're interested, I'll send you some tab. It's easy once you know how to read it:) Here is a site that explains how it works: http://www.snowcrest.net/ehorner/tab.htm Let me know if you're interested. Nancy |

Since fiddles don't have "frets" this will help you hit the right sound till you get used to the fiddle. http://members.tripod.com/~mrfiddle/fingerboard.gif Then get some tab and you'll be playing the first day, not great, but definetly playing!
