Hector The Hero – basic and variation performance

Hey folks,

Here’s a short performance of a Scottish tune called Hector The Hero. I play a very simple version and then play a version with some variation added. 

Here is an mp3 that you can stream or download for your listening pleasure: 

Both versions are taught in step-by-step lessons in the Irish Fiddle Variation course:

Hector The Hero Variation

Though this is a Scottish melody, the variations I did are more in an Irish fiddle style.

The basic version is very stripped down, arranged for beginners. The variation version adds a few variations, but not too many. The idea is for you to really start to listen to the subtle difference between the two. I also want to remind you of the fundamental point of the adding variation: alternate between basic and variation versions. 

This process carries over to adding variation to any tune or fiddle style. It prepares you to improvise or compose your own melodies.
