I have been working on Cherokee Shuffle but when I play it I think it is right based on the music I have for it. Then when I listen to other youtubers it seems that their melody is a little different and I seem to like it more. If I posted a vid of me playing it you think one of you could give me a hand with what I need to adjust (or dont need)???
Mind you I am still a beginner but this is the first fiddle tune giving me problems when comparing to other people's versions.
I've been picking away at Fisher's Hornpipe for a few weeks now, got the first section down, finally locked myself away in my studio last night to hammer out the last section. At one point, I dragged my wife in to hear my progress like a big kid. I had to call it a night when I noticed I went googly-eyed staring at my fretting fingers.
A funny aside, I noticed my two youngest humming it this morning over breakfast... subliminal hornpipe.
Re-visiting FH myself, particularly Ray Legere's take on it off Wyatt Rice New Market Gap. Lovely lines Ray gets on it.
Thanks ...Try this link Sandy and look for Batchelder's Reel in (F) also sometimes called Atlanta's Hornpipe or Quigley's Reel... http://home.hiwaay.net/~vehenry/tab.htm

Here's another one I hacked through, (just learned or learning), that you'll find in that link as well entitled General Longstreet ~ Civil War era tune. Got hooked on the melody

Alexander's Hornpipe. I'm also doing a mashup of cold and frosty morning with Campbell's Farewell to Red Gap.

Oklahoma Redbird.
Here's a version with Norman Blake and Peter Ostroushko
Was at a jam this weekend and we played Ship in the Clouds. Addictive little tune that goes ABB.
There were a lot of expletives as many of us forgot to play the B part twice in a row, so we informally changed the name to Something Else Entirely in the Clouds.
I recently discovered (and learned) Chinquapin Hunting and Fire On The Mountain, I'm completely loving this! I guess you all have known these tunes for quite some time, but I am fairly new to this kind of music.
If you have suggestions (rhythm-driven Old-Time fiddle tunes, even better if they are "crooked"), I'm listening!
To Niavlys: Give Hawks and Eagles and Spotted Pony a go. They're not crooked, but they're dance tunes!

I love reading the posts and researching tunes i'm not familiar with. Thanks to all who have contributed! I'm currently playing Fortune, Sally Ann Johnson , Booth shot Lincoln and Hell amongst the Yearlings.
what is that mandolin Adam is playing. Growliest, most resonant I've heard in a while.

Working on BM's My Father's Footsteps after watching the Sharon Gilchrist video someone posted. Her version is pretty but this version is more playable for me at the moment.
This is "hands down" my absolute favorite thread on the Cafe...Mike Snyder, you are a genius, whoda thunk we'd be on page 49....
and anyone who hasn't checked out the Vance Henry's site http://home.hiwaay.net/~vehenry/tab.htm that "Woodwizard" (Mike Parks)
recommended, is missing out on a great resource.
Thanks f-d, I'm learning Hawks and Eagles now, do you play it in ADAE? I'm not comfortable with the idea of tuning my G strings up a whole step, but I guess it can be played in standard tuning as well. And I've just listened to Spotted Pony, it seems familiar to me, and fun to play, I'm probably going to learn it too.
Yes there are two different tunes, I learned the one in A (played by Greg Clarke here), not the one with the Gmaj7 in the second part. By the way I had seen this Greg Clarke version but at that time it didn't draw my attention, I'm not sure why, as it's a brilliant and very inspiring version! Thanks.
Worked on that last night; nice tune.
It's not really a fiddle tune, but I'm approaching it in the same vein: Chris Thile's version of Ookpik Waltz. He plays it with Michael Daves on their album together, and he plays it at what must be the mandolin showcase at the 2012 Merlefest. Biting off more than I can chew, I think. I have a feeling it will be a long time before I can say I know it.
Two videos from Merelfest, below. The first one is from closer up, but the second one has better audio.

I think I'll stick with his version from the album, as it seems much more straight ahead than the videos above.
