This lesson shows how to play w/ the shuffle, and then how drones are used to dress up the tune.

I wrote this song some years back after a visit to the Fiddler's Gathering. It attempts to portray some of the history of the place. There's a monument in the park that gives some of the salient details of the fighting that happened there.

I got this tune from Jim Lansford, who cited Bill Caten as his source. Tuning is std.
I played through the tune twice, and then slowed it down a bit so you could catch the notes and bowing. The tune is in 3 parts, key of G.

We play this tune in jams around here, but before this year I didn't know that Norman Edmonds had played it. Fiddle is tuned AEAE.

I recorded myself on my Eyepod. You'll have to excuse the drive noises. Otherwise I think the recording is fairly clear. This is an original tune from Banjo Billy.

This goes along with the thread currently running on double stops. I couldn't explain it in words, so here it is in sound.

I learned this one from Suzi Thompson. I don't know where she got it, but if anyone knows...I play it slow at the end if anyone wants to learn it.

I think Steve Earl recorded this song (Don't know if he wrote it). We've been performing it for well over a year, and it has become one of my favorites. This cut was recorded in Glenview IL on 2/7/10 (yes, it was Super Sunday and we still managed to fill the room somehow) by my band Loose Change & Friends. Ron & Marcy Novit (banjo & guitar/vocal, res.), Bill Tong (autoharp), Lee Mishkin (bass), Doris Lee Dutton (clog dancer), John Daugherty (mandolin) and myself (fiddle).

This is a tune that Missouri fiddler Bob Holt played. It is played S-L-O-W (by request). When you learn it good at this speed, you'll eventually want to play it 8-10x faster to match Bob's playing.

I learned this tune from some folks I was jamming with at the Wheatland Festival a while back. I think it was called Tomahawk, but I've heard something that might dispute that that's even the proper title for this tune. I think it was played by someone like an Arthur Smith or Tommy Magness or Howdy Forster (Forester?) on the radio in the '30s or 40's, but my memory isn't good, so I sure would like your help on this!! I play it in cross 'A' tuning.

I think the instrumentation on here is fiddle, guitar, & mando, all played by me. This is one of my favorite all-purpose 'C' tunes. Hope you like!

As requested. I use standard tuning, and I might be a little sharp because of a fine tuner issue I'm having. Anyhow, I play it sort of at regular speed, then slowed down.

I was goofing off w/ my banjo & trying to recall a popular tune (don't want to name it yet) & I came up with this. Does this sound like any tune you know? Key of D.
