The Scottish Folk Fiddle Third Position Book (book)

This book introduces fiddlers to 3rd position in a fun and exciting way by using well known Scottish tunes as the examples. It is a very popular book and can be used in on its own or in conjunction with a non-Scottish 3rd position book if supplementary fun material is required.

Also included are some pages of 2nd position tunes to widen the interest in the uses of position work in fiddle playing and enable the players to tackle some of the material from Scott Skinner’s "The Scottish Violinist" book and tunes from the "Session" books, some of which include position work.
