Day 14 – Swallowtail Jig

[Leanna]

I worked on Swallowtail Jig as well during the challenge and as you can see I haven’t quite committed to memory the second half of the tune (the simple duet accompaniment arranged by Jason). The biggest takeaway from the challenge is that I need to stop trying to learn new tunes and focus on sounding good first… eliminating the squeaks and scratches that make me sound like a beginner. Thanks for listening! Swallowtail Jig

Really good job Leanna – your fingering is very fluent, or fluid … one of those, or perhaps both.

Fantastic, Leanna! That sounded great – perfect pace and tone. It really is worth learning a song well. Also love the sound of your fiddle.
