Here are some resources for some of the fiddle tunes that I play and teach. If you're looking for fiddle or mandolin tablature for any of these tunes, send me an email at (my first name at fiddlesean dot com) – if there's standard notation here, it's usually pretty easy for me to create the tab.
Unless otherwise noted, all of the sheet music and audio recordings here were created by me.

In simple terms, this means please feel free to use those pieces for personal or professional purposes, just be sure to give me appropriate credit.
The remainder of the sheet music, and all the audio recordings here, should be considered for your personal use only.
