Re: method book recommendation?
Actual music (as heard through the air) is one of the best 'method books'.
Developing your ear is at least as important as ANYTHING involved in playing music, so by doing your own transcribing of music you love (or just 'learning it by heart' without writing it down), you will gain things that no method book can give you. The Bach Cello Suites are a good start...the Sonatas and Partitas will keep you busy 'a little while'...hundreds of jazz solo transcriptions that can be applied to our instruments...the Amazing Slower Downer is a good friend and will let you take light speed music into the realm of manageable...great for fast bluegrass!
