Fiddle Books Find fiddle tab books for less at PlayBetterBluegrass.com. Every fiddle tablature and instruction book is discount priced and most ship the same day. Most fiddle books are written in standard notation rather than tablature. Tablature is a visual approach to playing the fiddle that tells you which strings to play and which fret to hold down with the bar. Due to the many limitations of tablature, nearly all fiddle books are written in standard notation.
