The Pegram Jam Fiddle Tune Chord Chart Book
Herein lies rhythm chord charts for the whole shootin' match
Over the years we wrote out chord charts for nearly every tune played at the jam and eventually compiled them into a book that we've kept updated. We keep a couple copies on hand at the jam so newcomers and visitors can follow along and won't feel completely lost. Jam members and online visitors have told us countless times how helpful this resource is.
So we decided to offer a free download of this book to the public. While we won't guarantee that every song in our collection of recordings is in our book, we're not far off. Last count, we had over 400 tunes charted out. We'll continue to add new tunes from time to time.
We last updated the book in January 2009.
The Pegram Jam Chart Book file is in .pdf format. It is currently 62 pages long. You can read it in your browser with Adobe Reader or download a copy and print it out. Once printed, the pages are formatted to punch and keep in a binder. Be forewarned that there could still be typos and unresolved arrangement issues in the text, so we continue to weed out mistakes. You might consider printing out a new version once a year.

Not everyone has a laser printer or an unlimited supply of ink and paper. Printing out the 60+ page Pegram Jam Chord Chart can be more than some folks can handle. So we thought we'd print a handful up for those of you who would rather just buy one.
Each book comes with a clear plastic front and back cover and is coil-binded so it will lay flat when open. 62 pages, black and white. Your cost is $15 per book; I'll ship it USPS Priority Mail and you should have it within 3-5 working days.
Since PegramJam.com hears from a lot of folks outside the US, I'll be happy to ship USPS Priority International as well; your book will take up to ten days to arrive.
