Wayfaring Stranger

I’ve been practicing some simpler tunes along with a beat to try & improve my timing & I’ve got a bit hooked by this tune! In particular, the version by Jack White that is shared on the fiddlehed site. This is recorded with the Fiddlehed Beat Central brushes 4/4 & raagini D Drone.

[Nick Wilkins]

Ah, that’s great, Jo. I can really see how that tune could get under your skin! Well done [again!]

[Joanne Iles]

Thanks Nick, it certainly has ” earworm” potential!

Sounds great, Joanne! Nice slides and great idea using the raagini drone and beat. Love this song too and want to learn the Jack Black version’s violin accompaniment- That would be a good call and response lesson, Jason!

[Joanne Iles]

Thanks Kate! Yes me too, I’ve started trying to fathom the violin on his recording- next project!

Nicely done, Joanne! Yeah, the slides were cool! I like that song as well. Back before the Pandemic it would be played occasionally at one of the Jams here in Richmond, Va.

[Joanne Iles]

Thanks Owen! I could imagine it being a great tune to play at a jam….one day, let’s hope.

Sounding great! Your violin has a lovely tone. Well done

[Joanne Iles]

Aw thanks 😊 @Bluegrassgal

[Debbie Hill]

Smooth! Great choice of beat.

That’s beautiful, Joanne! Love that beat and drone with it. Great job on the slides and runs! Thanks for sharing!

[Patty]
