How you getting on with your Morrisons jig? I’ve just about got 'De'il among the Tailors' down so this ones next. 😃 🎻

+Lumi Ketonen Thank you, Lumi! I'm glad that my tutorials help! =) I can relate to feeling frustrated with difficult music... A piece starts off great until I turn to a page that's so hard!! It can feel really defeating... =/ I really like fiddle music because it's a lot more laid back and social. I wish you all the best with your Schubert quartet! =) I love a lot of Schubert's compositions - they are so pretty! ^_^

Thank you! =) I'm glad that this has helped! : D I have a lot more planned! ^_^

+x You're welcome! I hope you have fun learning this tune! : D It's a lot of fun! ^_^ Happy Fiddling~! =)

+Jack Bauer Hi Jack! Thank you for your nice comment! =) I'm glad that you are having fun learning more tunes! : D The Hunter's Purse is a great tune!! I almost forgot about that tune - I think I'm going to go practice it again! : D I hope you have fun practicing! ^_^

+Jack Bauer Yay! I hope you have fun learning this tune, too! =) Happy Fiddling~! ^-^

+Dan G.R. Wow! I didn't know that they would be helpful for guitarists! Neat! =) I'm glad that it still helped! Thank you for your nice comment! : D

+Gojirella Yay! Thank you! =)

+Doug Nickerson I don't think I've ever seen a wild horse, either... I guess there was the gold rush in Colorado, so we did have a few "rich mountains" lol... I wonder where some of these titles come from!? ("Squirrel Heads and Garvy" is one crazy tune title example... lol!)

+Katy Adelson thanks as always 4 your Interesting reply. Different names @ a session . I suppose the Important thing is what a tune sounds like & can people communicate about the tunes at all . A confusing example is "Paddy on the Turnpike ," i've heard played the version in Gm much as you play it . Others have a tune In G major, same name , with the similarity that it goes from a G harmony to an F and back. An Oak publications book refers to the famous 'Avalanche' by Vassar Clements as his variations on "Paddy on the Turnpike, " being in G major and closer to the second tune. so if you looked for the tune & found the Gm Irish version you could suffer some momentary confusion , but mostly this would be s.t. you could overcome with listening and taking a deep breath or two ) but if one looks for certainty in the naming of tunes well it seems a long row to hoe

+Row N You're welcome! I hope you have fun learning Morrison's! =)

Thank you for watching! =) I hope you have fun practicing. ^_^

+TheDORO1234 Yay! This is a great tune to learn! I hope you have fun practicing, and I hope you post it soon! =) Happy Fiddling~! ^_^

Thank you for watching! =) I hope the tutorial helped! ^_^

Thank you for your nice comment and for subscribing! =) I love the Irish bouzouki!! I'm happy that his video helped you learn the tune! ^_^

It's my pleasure! Eagerly waiting for new video's :)

Why?

My plan is to jump from twinkle twinkle little star to this

+Gergely Nagy Hello! I've finally written out and posted the sheet music for the version of Morrison's that I made a video on last summer. It has the regular tune version that I taught in this video, + all the extra variations that I came up with: www.katyadelson.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/MorrisonsJig_Vln.pdf I hope it is helpful! =)

+Katy Adelson Thank you! I already memorized it by hearing, but the sheet will still be useful, and my violin tutor asked for it too :)

+Akantor Drummer Thank you -- I hope it helps you learn the tune! =)

+mywidescreen2 Yay! I hope you have fun! : D Happy fiddling! ^_^

Thank you Katy!

+Rio Herwindo Hi Rio! =) I hope the tutorial helps -- thank you for watching, and I hope you have fun practicing! ^_^

+Maritza Contreras Yay! =) Thank you! ^_^

+Jack Bauer Hi Jack! I could make a tutorial video over all of the variations that I made from my other video of Morrison's. Since there are several variations in the music video, I might need to split the video into different variation parts because the buttons won't all fit on the left side of the screen... But I think it would be a fun video to make! =) Thank you for your suggestion! I'll try to work on it sometime soon! : D

+Doug Nickerson Thank you, Doug! I realized that as I was listening back to the video.. =/ I usually mention the key and time signature, but I forgot to in this video! =S I've been debating about whether or not I should add an annotation explaining it... I already have a lot of annotations on the video... =/

You're welcome! I hope it helps! =)

+Doug Nickerson Hi Doug! That's really interesting what you have discovered about the tune titles! It's quite a wide variation of name - Stoney point, to Wild Horses, to Rich Mountain! I think there is a lot of mix-up between tune titles and the actual tune, especially when they sound similar. I think the title and tune morphs a lot especially since a lot of them are played from memory and by ear. Sometimes I wonder if I'm posting the tune under a wrong title! =S Many times I've heard a tune in a jam, but knew it by a completely different name....or I'll recognize the melody, but when I ask for the tune's name, the group sometimes says a title I've never heard of before.. It's neat how much a tune can change over time and by region! Sometimes I wonder how some of the older tunes sounded 200 years ago. I wonder if the tunes sounded completely different, or if they still resemble each other. =)

Interesting!!! I will have to look at these tunes!!

+milky oxide Thank you! =)

For the eighth notes, I usually do 3 separate and 3 slurred. Sometimes I change it up and slur both groups of 3 eighth notes. More and more I've been adding in stranger bowings where I'll do 4 separate and 3 slurred. This puts the next up-bow on an awkward note, but adds an interesting texture to the tune. ^_^
