    I want to purchase a new bluegrass fakebook. I had this one and really enjoyed it: Bluegrass Fakebook But wonder if there were others that you found good. Thanks.

    I think Dix Bruce has one for mandolin. The Parking Lot Pickers series of books.



    A couple of mandolins
    A couple guitars
    An Upright Bass
    Some banjos
    Wax Paper over a comb
    A Loar era Didjeridoo

    there is a book that is used heavily in some slow jams in the DFW area. it's available on ebay. go look at item 190230950398.

    I don't own it but have seen others using it and it is spoken of very well by many.
    that ain't no part of nothin'!

    Jack Tuttle at Gryphon Stringed Instruments in Palo Alto, CA has compiled two good fake books of BG songs.

    I have the casey fakebook and it is not bad. The casey one is good for words and cords of popular bg tunes. I also like the fiddler fakebook by D. Brody for old time tunes, but it doesn't have words. (I think they make a "mandolin" version for those who like tab)
