My Uni student daughter is currently on her way to see the Waterboys in Sheffield, my surprise to her is learning the violin which one day I hope to shock her with this incredible fiddle solo. You play this beautifully!

Cracking tune.

Sounds exactly like Steve Wickham, beautiful and solid. I love the G above the B, these combined, really give the instrument depth in the song.

Thanks for featuring this one. I love the solo. I never heard this before so I went and listened to it. Your lesson made the listening more fun!

@ajohnhayes Жыл бұрын

Thank you so much for this lesson! I play electric guitar, and I wanted to blend in with the fiddle at the local jam. I figured out what I could by ear from the recording, but this was the perfect lesson I needed to get it down.

Hey there, just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to make this. Really helped, much appreciated. If possible could you send me the sheet music for fisherman's bules, calling from Australia. Thanks.

thanks for the lesson, sounds really good. I was trying to arrange the violin part for guitar and was having a hard time hearing exactly what was going on. I missed the double E lick totally (and I couldn't find a workable alternative because the guitar open E string is an octave lower). I put my arrangement on soundslice and linked to this video, hope that's okay.

Is this a beginner friendly tune? Absolutely adore how you played it. If its any kind if guidance, I'm currently on Minuet 1 in suzuki and have played about 6-7 months and can play some other simple tunes. Mostly nervous of fast runs and double stops :)

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed this. I wouldn't say it's particularly easy, but most tunes or phrases can be simplified to suit your level of playing.
