Amazing playing!

Chris, love your stuff! If you wouldn't mind, I'd sure appreciate if you let the whole tune play out in the intros to your videos. I was just about to have it by ear and you cut off the end of the repeated B part! Haha

Great fiddling tips, Chris. And I agree--Vassar Clements was a fantastic fiddler! However, to give credit where it is due, according to discographies, it was the great Jimmy Buchanan on fiddle on that song: 22 June 1962 [2 pm to 5 pm] Columbia Recording Studio, 804 16th Ave. South, Nashville, TN - Jim and Jesse (Jim McReynolds [vcl/gt], Jesse McReynolds [vcl/mandolin], Alfred McHan [gt], Allen Shelton [banjo], David Sutherland, Jimmy Buchanan [fiddle], Douglas Kirkham. Producer: Don Law and Frank Jones). ● SHE LEFT ME STANDING ON THE MOUNTAIN

Completely new to violin/fiddle but not to music. sorry for the newbie question but I noticed two notes at a time being played but only single ones drawn on the chart. Is he playing octaves ? Thanks ... or rather ... Merci.

What a gem of an interview. Sometimes the algorithm steers me where i need to be. So happy for you to have had that opportunity to speak with one of the greats

The grin on your face said it all, thanks, well done. I saw someone else requested Little Martha??

I’ve just noticed you have a Japanese kokyu in the background, amazing g sounding g instrument, but for now, I’ll carry on with learning from your great videos

Very Very interesting , thanks for expanding our horizons , with different cultures , moe

Excellent tutorial! What brand of rosin and strings do you use? Your fiddle is so clean and mine is covered in rosin dust and I'm not 1/1,000,000th the fiddler you are! Thanks man! Chris, you are Awesome!

Ah! Le charme slave se reconnait même dans la musique.

Very useful and well explained. Thanks Chris!

The exact title seems to be Knox County Stomp

This is awesome; one of my favorite tunes! May I request a fiddle adaptation of Old Ebenezer Scrooge? It’s my favorite tune to play on the mandolin and of course I gotta learn it on the fiddle too!

Thank you so much Sir❤ , for your country fiddle lesson . I'm from North east india

I loved your video. Can I have a pdf of the violin part. Thanks

What a nice fiddle tune, thank you for showing us may ways we can play it. 👍

You are a BRILLIANT teacher, Chris. Not to mention an amazing player. Very few amazing players can teach as well as you. Thank you.

Great video and also what I have found. The next thing I have found is going along to the session after learning someone and just listening. Also if there is a leader speaking to them. I found I didn’t know which tunes to learn because regular sessions have particular tunes they play and particular version of the tunes. So if you can go along and record some tunes on your phone that will get you started. Also, as a classical player, don’t be afraid to sit next to someone and ask if you can watch their fingers. I struggled in session and a lady in her strong irish accent said to me “just watch my fingers love!” Sounds simple but as a classical player I was just trying to memorise by listening; it helps to do both.

Love your videos Chris, absolute goldmine of knowledge. hats off to you good man

I swear your on a roll with one great tutorial after another. Both this and big city are songs I’ve been wanting to learn for a while and you dropped them back to back right when I checked your channel. Keep it up and thanks for the great lessons

Excellent choice Chris. Well played and demonstrated. 👍

Morceau très intéressant mais pas facile à faire ! Merci

Thank you. You demonstrated how to produce the adventurous driving sound on a fiddle that Bill Monroe recorded on a mandolin year I was born.

Jazzy dream , so Much in it ! Jazz, blues, Bluegrass , speed All of it, techniques useful in many other tunes as improvisation, This may be treasure in your pocket, even for critical audience

Exciting High lonesome sound

Very nice!

Good variations i need to try with my fiddle. The last line is what i like playing when our sessions plays it. 😂. We hold the last note very long.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talents!

All your videos are so helpful. And I’m doing this on cello! Wish me luck haha

Fabulous! Just what I was looking for - thank you!

THANK YOU, SIR! First time I've seen such a treatment. Hank Williams also PLAYED some Country fiddle! I've seen a photo of him playing at a concert. Hank learned guitar from Rufus Payne, but no one speaks of Hank playing guitar and how that came about.

Great video Chris, way too many years of having to take lead on the fiddle, it's taking a lot of work to play back up. I think I'm going to need to return to basics and learn chords . . .

Wow! This is so great! Thank you!

Still watching and learning. You rock 👌🏽

Very nice tutorial! Thanks!!

Un très joli morceau à apprendre en ce début d'année. Merci

Ok thanks chris

Thanks Chris! Love this tune. Where do you get the backing track for Trad Irish?

Does this teach backup fiddle for songs?

thank you so much for the video this is the best lesson yet I have found on KZbin. love the channel.
