kind of the 'orange blossom special' of the dreaded country fiddle requests! 😁

Thanks Chris for this gorgeous lesson on "The Irish Washerwoman" of which I know the simple version well. This is the melody that best makes me understand and perform the jigs pattern.

I am living in Ireland and, what I really find fascinating, is the simplicity of the traditional reels. Of course making them more "elaborate" is a point of honour as a musician in my view, but i really like the straight-forward approach that you have, it feels so Irish to me. Irleand, for what I have understood so far is about having fun, and you, sir, are doing it very well

Lovely to see you play this - had to slow down to 1/4 to really see how short the 'short' bows are! I play primarily old-time/bluegrass, so have had little practice at 6/8 - this video shows really well how to make it sound Irish (even if it isn't - nice to hear some of the history)

Hi Stanley. Glad you found this useful! Remember, in a traditional tune which has a difficult bit like this, you have three choices. 1. Play it, but badly. 2. Never play it, because of the hard bit. or 3. Play it, and simplify the hard bit. Always go for no 3!
