    Great thread!

    I use Baron's lessons frequently for Fiddle Tunes. I recently learned a couple of new ones from Mandolessons: Shove that pig's foot....., Salt Creek, East Tennessee Blue's, and I started Doonagore but haven't gotten all the way through it.

    Cattle in the Cane and Forked Deer.

    On Forked Deer, I tried a different approach(for me) that I read about for learning new tunes. Hopefully not a one tune wonder!

    Just added a 1922 Loar era F2 to the family Trying it out on the Ruins of Richmond, a cool Norman Blake tune. Also a sort of little medley of two versions of the New Five Cents. Sometimes called the Buffalo Nickel

    Here is another old-time fiddle tune I've been working. Indian Ate a Woodchuck (Ed Haley version) played on my '22 F2. Hope I'm not boring everyone with all my tune posts... Just having fun learning all these tunes ... or trying to learn them anyway

    I've been having lots of fun trying to learn/re-learn Sandy River Belle recently, never tried flatpicking it before. While I was fumbling around trying to recover from obvious mistakes without completely losing the beat, I inadvertently stumbled onto some little variations I like, guess that's one reason that first-takes can seem more like improv. Note that the practice backing app I've been using, doesn't have a "trad oldtime fiddle" pre-set so I made do with, um, something else:



    Probably would have been slightly more appropriate to the genre if I'd used a different backing pre-set such as "Ballad 16T" instead of "Rhumba" but hey why be normal (been there, done that, grew up playing fiddle/banjo etc with the expected normal trad sounds & instrumentation, time for some experimentation now)

    Good one, Mike. That was in Shoo Goo homework for Winfield last year and you play it well. This year I'm putting in Polly Put the Kettle on, Mike in the Wilderness, and Five Miles From Town. Probably a bit ambitious of me.

    I've always done the A version, too. A bunch of my buddies do the D version, so I have to get on that.
