Farewell Trion (Old Time fiddle lesson)

Farewell Trion is an old time fiddle tune written by Alabama fiddler Joe Blaylock. In this fiddle lesson I demonstrate the tune, including the extra part written by James Bryan. I mention fiddle techniques including drones, double stops and the Georgia Shuffle. A free pdf of the sheet music for Farewell Trion is available to subscribers. There are many more old time fiddle tunes on The Fiddle Channel, and I have a book covering all the relevent techniques (see below).

Very cool song, I live just about 10 miles north of Trion. I got to learn it if not for no other reason. Lol

[@peterdoughty2015]

I seem to recall picking up on this tune from one of the regional MN/WI/MI/IA string bands. It's been part of my repertoire. Hearing your take -- especially the bit about one note "paying for" the tune -- is refreshing.

One of my favorite tunes, love your version and the dots, thank you!

Glad you liked it Kathy.
