Video downloads are available to paid subscribers. 

I recommend taking the beginner lesson first: [tuneName with link]

If you are a more advanced player, this might not be necessary, though you might want to look at the basic version anyway because it will help you to hear the essential melody.

 

Preparation

Warm up with a _ major scale with variations.

Learning chunks {tune lessons}

I’ve made some “Learning Chunks” to help you learn more easily. These focused exercises contain sheet music, tabs and mp3 loops to guide you on your fiddle journey.

Warm-ups

Key interval: tab

Warm-up exercise #: tab

Simply playing this is a good ‘small win’. Make sure you can loop it continuously before moving on to the next quarter. Take this approach with everything you learn.

The rest of the learning chunks are available to paid subscribers, along with full play-along tracks with fiddle at high and low volume (so you hear yourself more), full tabs, alternate variations and full sheet music. Thanks for your support ?
