Old-time Reel in D Major
Beginner > Module 1.10

Play Along Track – Full Tune

Drone in D – No Beat

When learning the fourth quarter of the A part, I strongly recommend practicing four note clusters (see the warm up exercises below). Same goes for the first and second quarters of the B part. Learn these SLOWLY. Maybe one line per day or even one line per week if you’re a beginner


Warm-up Exercises

If you slowly play these before starting the tune I guarantee it will be easier for you to learn the melody and play it in tune.
