What's your new fiddle tune?

[fatt-dad]

relearning Maggie Brown's Favorite. Kind of notey and a challenge for me!

Here's, "Take 1!"



Yeah, I should have tuned up first.

Clinch Mountain Backstep.

I just looked back a few posts to see that I started to work on Banish Misfortune! I must have gotten distracted and abandoned it! (Gig and fest intervened.)

So, back to that one again!

woodwizard - cool stuff

I recently discovered a place called Big Indian NY deep in the Catskills - very cool spot
I wonder ....
I 've heard the pig ankle at various jams - nice sounding box

[AlanN]

Revisiting Apple Butter, I think it's called, off Bela Fleck Natural Bridge (what a great recording...), after hearing a guy who demoed a mandolin he has for sale on the site. Good little number.

Not sure it counts as a fiddle tune, but Mike Marshall's Scotch and Swing is pretty fun.

(I joined that Academy of Bluegrass thing... pretty cool stuff.)

Here's stab at Pig Ankle Rag

very nice version. We always play in in "D." I had fun playing along with your "G" rendition though! Well done!

Texas Gallop. Fun tune!

Texas Gallop. Fun tune!

I didn't know it by that name, but I have been playing Rachel or Texas Quickstep for years -- prob more of the old time version (see second video). That is one of may favorite tunes to play on fiddle for dances.

[William Smith]

Well its a John Rieshman? mandolin tune Salt Spring, very neat tune I heard and well figured it out real quick.

Yep, that's the one. I found the Tabledit file for it on the Mandozine site listed as a Bill Monroe tune and gave it a try. The first video you posted is it exactly, or at least the first time through. He did some extra stuff there that I think I might have to incorporate!

[Jim Garber]

Tobin: I do like the tune and always have. I may incorporate that bluegrassy version into my old timey one.

Got a fairly new (2011) Martin guitar recently. Knew this already on the mandolin ~ here's my guitar version of Big Sciota that I just learned. Love this old fiddle tune Warning no mando content

Lumps of Pudding from 1769. Key of A-Dorian.

Just now did a one take stab at Ed Haley's Half Past Four. A very cool OT fiddle tune that rolls right along.
