Just got the book last week and have been learning the tunes, highly recommend both!

Absolutely a gem of a recording, just stellar in every way. And the book provides a great resource for learning the tunes. Get them both!

CD and book ordered. My compliments for the respectful usage of a spiral binding.

Don, does the book have standard notation as well as Tab?
Re: Article: New Music from Mike Compton & Norman Blake: Gallop T
Is it standard notation and tab for both mandolin and guitar or just mandolin?

too good!
Re: Article: New Music from Mike Compton & Norman Blake: Gallop T
Well, I was hoping for either standard notation and/or tab for guitar as well as this looks like something my wife and I might enjoy playing together. I'm guessing, based on what Blake is playing in the video, that the guitar is mostly alternating bass/chord accompaniment with some single note bass line runs. If so, then we can probably work them out on guitar by ear.
Regardless, I'm looking forward to this.

I'm learning the "Avalon Quickstep" today, using the book and Transcribe to slow down the tune from the CD. What a fun tune! Looking forward to digging into more of these tunes. What tunes are you working on?
Re: Article: New Music from Mike Compton & Norman Blake: Gallop T
Great rhythm and choice of tunes on this CD,
Sweet Milk and Peaches especially.

Picked it up yesterday as present to myself - all I can say is America the Genuine!
I do recall Doc and Merle doing a version of Carol County Blues with Sam Bush on Fiddle on his Pickin' the Blues Album.
Great to hear authentic American string band music from two of our finest treasures.
