You Can Teach Yourself Fiddling: Designed for beginning fiddle students, these 36 lessons present basic techniques by applying them to fiddle tunes. Reading music is unnecessary, as the lessons are explained step by step, and fingerings are given for every note. Each version builds on the previous one and helps students to create their own arrangements. Includes a split- track CD. Forty-eight songs from the book are on the CD.

SCALES
Format: Carl Flesch Scale Studies:
For all the major and minor scales you have the following (numbers coincide with the book):
1.- 4. One octave scale, arpeggios, broken thirds, chromatic scale, one in the key, on each string.
5. Three octave scale, arpeggios, broken thirds, chromatic.
[Doublestops start here:]
3.- 4. Thirds, chromatic thirds
7. Sixths, chromatic sixths
8. Octaves, octave arpeggios, octave thirds, octave chromatic
9. Fingered octaves, arpeggios, thirds, chromatic
10. Tenths
11. Artificial harmonics
Galamian has a scale study method covering much the same material, but includes more contemporary harmonies, more diverse choice of fingerings, and a separate book with bowing options. Notes are only note heads, which is different than the Carl Flesch.
An even more contemporary scale and arpeggio study book with a jazz/rock influence is Mark Wood's Electrify Your Strings. This may be studied with an acoustic instrument and is well worth examining.
