Old-Time Fiddle Lesson, Vol. 1Matt Brown 5SP07002
Old-Time Fiddle Lesson, Vol. 1 is an instructional CD by renowned teacher and fiddler, Matt Brown. The tunes included on this CD are authentic arrangements based on Matt's familiarity with many great fiddlers. Old-Time Fiddle Lesson, Vol. 1 includes a dozen fiddle tunes played at both a slow and moderate tempo. This CD encourages learning by ear, through repeated listening and careful imitation, and thereby enables students to learn, adapt, and feel comfortable in jam sessions. The first six tunes are in standard violin tuning (GDAE) and offer those new to the style a portal into old-time music without having to re-tune. Those tunes are: Ducks on the Millpond, Soldier's Joy, Backstep Cindy, Black Eyed Susie, Sugar Hill, and Jack Wilson. Duck River and Arkansas Traveler are played out of D tuning (ADAE), and Fire on the Mountain, Grub Springs, Sandy Boys and Old Joe Clark are played in cross G tuning (GDGD). This puts less strain on a fiddle than tuning up to cross A. The fingering is the same as if one were tuned to cross A (AEAE). Nearly half of the tunes on this instructional CD can be heard up to speed on Matt's CD Lone Prairie. Joining Matt on Lone Prairie are Paul Brown, banjo and Beverly Smith, guitar and vocal. This CD presents 18 wonderful old-time tunes and songs. Old-Time Fiddle Lesson, Vol. 1 track listing
