50 Tunes Volume 1 is a book/CD series designed for 5 instruments: banjo, bass, fiddle, guitar and mandolin. The purpose of this series is to provide individuals a large repertoire of tunes that can be used in ensembles, family bands and other types of groups. Each book contains the same 50 tunes. Each book is designed so that the 50 tunes fit that specific instrument. Also, each book contains about 100 parts that range from simple to advanced and includes many harmony parts. If you are interested in singing these tunes, lyrics for many of the 50 tunes can be downloaded for free on this website.
