<title>For Sale: Bluegrass Fiddle Teacher - $55 USD</title>
<author>eric@fiddlehangout.com</author>
<link>http://www.fiddlehangout.com/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=1054</link>
<description>I am always looking for new students!  Let me know what your availability is, my only stipulation is that I do not teach Thursday or Friday nights.  If you have Saturday lessons, they may be cancelled due to gigs.
 
Hopefully the following is not a reiteration, but I like to send it to all prospective students:
 
I teach out of my home in Fountain Valley.  I teach 1 hour lessons.  I teach my own method (of 28 years).  No reading, ear training only!  Bluegrass, old time, Irish, Texas styles.  All lessons are put on cassette tapes so you can go home and actually hear and remember what we worked on.  I give fingering and bowings. I specialize in beginning adults and I teach children with a one-month audit.  I teach Timing, Technique, Theory, Tuning.  I am 4-time Southern California fiddle champ and 12 year judge at the Topanga Banjo/Fiddle contest every year.  I was a park musician at Knott's Berry Farm and Magic Mountain, toured to Japan with Knotts, was in the No. 1 southwest regional bluegrass band as a finalist bluegrass band in 1998 for the Pizza Hut International Bluegrass Showdown in Louisville, Kentucky (IBMA) and now with Grasslands, Southern California Bluegrass.  The Fiddler's Fakebook by Oak Publications is a good place to see/learn basic tunes with a wonderful discography..but make sure you memorize everything you learn!

I also run a jam on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays at Orange County Archery, 18792 Brookhurst St., Fountain Valley, CA 92708--714.965.1125.  Feel free to come in and introduce yourself, sit and listen, or sit in and play!

My Website:			http://www.ifiddler.com www.grasslandsbluegrass.com

TUNES TO LISTEN &amp; LEARN:
A         Old Joe Clark
A         Red Haired Boy
D         Liberty
D         Whiskey Before Breakfast
D         Harvest Home
Dm       Road to Lisdoonvarna
D         Staten Island Hornpipe
A         St. Anne &#8217;s Reel
D         Silent Night
G         Leather Britches
D         Over The Waterfall

Violin and bluegrass are definitely apples and oranges as to approach.  It is all improvisation on a general theme.  I suggest you purchase recordings and listen to how they play.   www.Amazon.com is a great place to get CDs!

<title>Want to Buy: Fiddle player needed in DE</title>
<author>eric@fiddlehangout.com</author>
<link>http://www.fiddlehangout.com/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=2248</link>
<description>Our active bluegrass band practices in the Blackiston/Kenton area and will be playing in Southern DE and Eastern MD area. 
Our material consists of mostly gospel material, some classic bluegrass tunes, ripping instrumentals, and some original music. 
Currently the band consists of a rhythm guitar/lead singer who has been singing for 30 years, a great singer/songwriter, an excellent banjo player, a very talented bass player, and a mediocre mandolin player:) (that'd be me!) We're looking for another lead instrument (fiddle, dobro, guitar...) fluent in popular tunes and easily adaptable. 
This is a fairly new lineup so we're working up a lot of material we'll be performing. We don't do bars so we'll mostly be playing churches, festivals, events, etc.. A great time for the right person to come have as much fun as we're having! Shoot me an e-mail!</description>
