Cripple Creek: oldtime fiddle lesson with Craig Judelman

It's hard to get any more standard than Cripple Creek! Many people avoid chestnuts like these once they've gotten a few more tunes under their belt, but that's a shame. Here Craig Judelman (with Ben Smith on guitar) shows how you can make tunes like this one fun again.

Craig can you do a little on the intro bowing into the tune please

[@craigjudelman]

hey I can try at some point, let me see, but do you mean the pickup up phrase (first few notes of the tune) or the way I'm playing it in the intro to the video? or...? (maybe if you give me the time in the video the bit you mean occurs I can help better...)

Avoid this song? That's silly, it's such a good melody.
