Love that you included marking the 1, passing, and 4 chords. I think it helps when youre learning, for that to be pointed out so that the brain begins to process it. Especially when its chords other than G, C, and D (1/3 chords) Maybe its just me. I can hear the melodies fine. As an adult learner coming from a lifelong background of rhythm guitar by ear, I find that on rhythm guitar i always know what chord im in at any given time. But sometimes on a lead on the fiddle, in one of the not 1/3 chords, I might not realize just at any random point in it, what chord it might be in at that place in the piece without doing some thinking. Great piece and great instruction! Thank you!!

I can hear some of John Hartford's style in the tune. I guess the only place it was studio recorded is the Cadillac Rag LP. I'm surprised it didn't show up in his Mammoth Collection book.

From Texas Time Travel: (The intrique continues indeed) Fiddler Cotton Collins first heard the catchy waltz in Germany during World War II, bringing it back to play in the halls across Texas with his band, the Lone Star Playboys. It was after a show at Westphalia Hall in 1946 that hall manager B.J. Lignau suggested calling it the Westphalia Waltz.

@FerrisChappellАй бұрын
What a cute trick! So for someone that’s stuck in classical brain, I forget that those cute “slides” are half steps. And why in the world has it taken 4-5 years for me to find someone that teaches this stuff like you do?!? Im waiting for it to all “click” in my brain! Because the theory is there. Im just waiting for my fingers to catch up with my brain. 😂. The same reason you ask a classically trained musician to play chords and improv on a song they already know but they can’t do it.
@MeganLynchChowningАй бұрын
Your whole goal is to start thinking about the fiddle in terms of patterns. Practice your pentatonic scales starting on only open or 1st finger and it will help shift your thinking. People always think about classical vs fiddle as same instrument, different genres. But really it's two different instruments. Right??? You''ll get there, and please holler if you need anything.
