Bluegrass Fiddle Lessons - Cripple Creek - Ian Walsh

[@franksfiddle9031]

I wonder whatever happened to Ian Walsh ... one of the finest fiddlers I've ever seen and I bought a couple of his lessons. Absolutely effortless and also limitless knowledge - superb

[@ctsfiddler]

I purchased three lessons and worth every penny. I always wanted to learn phrase by phrase, but teachers never listened to me that my brain worked that way. Now i''m having so much fun. thank you Ian Walsh, a great teacher and player.

[@FiddlinMikeRolland]

Great lesson! I've been posting lessons for free too (on fiddle, guitar and mando) and just put up a Cripple Creek fiddle lessons. It's so nice to see another teacher putting lessons on KZbin. Keep up the good work!

[@mariasargent7742]

I love your playing and thank you for the new angle of filming. It's great!

[@mariemorris7031]

Thanks especially for the relaxed holding of the bow...........I've got a crack (winter) in my thumb............Thanks

[@strutt01]

Best Cripple Creek I've ever heard. I'm buying. Thanks Ian!

[@tikitwang]

Excellent teacher. Ian's put a lot of thought into breaking down the tunes into basic phrases and he finds a simple way to explain how to play the tunes. All of his videos are top notch.

I love this. Striaght to the point and u can actually play a song after watching this!! Unlike other tutorials that have too much music theory.

[@rosedantonio5536]

Thankful u can see your fingers. Love the angle

[@rosedantonio5536]

So awesome

[@seed6006]

Goosh, this is so great.... Can i have the full tutorial of this.... Such a great teacher👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@emc8021]

You are a very good teacher!!!!

[@matoodie]

This is the way traditional fiddle players hold their bows. In the Baroque time, they used to hold it this way as well.

[@jadqandour5095]

thanks I loved this!

[@trumpsahead]

That was awesome. I'm a newbie violin player, 6 weeks, and still awkward coordination, but manage to play about a dozen tunes, but nothing like you are showing. I subscribed - gotta learn this for sure. Thanks.

[@matoodie]

Hey same for me. He really makes it easy !

[@emc8021]

I also love the way you hold your bow. I know it isn't the way I am taught, buy I've seen many bluegrass players hold it this way, and obviously, it works quiet well! You play so well. How long have you been playing - since birth? I am much older than you, and I just started learning 6 months ago. I am continually amazed at how beautiful violinis!

[@nsheeler]

He is holding the bow wrong. He is holding it the way 4th grade beginners do.

[@michaelbaer5494]

@@nsheeler Hes one of the best players in the world so I'll take it he understands what hes doing

[@elvispalomino3097]

Parabéns! Gostei muito das suas dicas, você é um excelente professor! (Brasil)

[@beeallen-hine1421]

Love it

[@jondoe4667]

I'm 36 and want to learn to play the fiddle. Before I can take lessons I need to buy an instrument. Any recommendations on something that is good enough that I can grow into it without breaking the bank, but also not some cheap rig that's not playable?

[@melodel2]

Wish I could play like this!

[@Ilcremonese1]

Bravo ! belle vidéo avec explications très claires ! Merci.

[@source4magic]

Good useful video, thanks.

[@VinnyMartello]

VERY HELPFUL!!!

[@robyramos2892]

His bow hold is a beginners bow hold or birdie bow hold

[@strutt01]

Roby ramos ever hear devil went down to Georgia? Well this here's Johnny . He can fiddle circles around ya.

[@RameyRocks]

I'm a beginner and I'm just curious as to why you play the a chord first?

[@itscold4339]

[@stevenschrock]

Killer

[@tootieroll69]

dude this guy sounds like ben chan when you dont watch the video when it first starts

[@organicmolecules]

A lot of bluegrass fiddlers choke up on the bow like that. It's not kosher in the classical sense, but it works.

[@RiotTrail]

so much rosin!! XD that'll ruin your fiddle's varnish, man!!

[@strutt01]

Evan Bailey it's the sound that counts. Not the look. :)

[@aahlstrom93]

if ur fiddle aint caked in rosin, sweat, and blood u aint playin it right

[@songsabai3794]

man,his bow hold gives me vertigo!

[@strutt01]

Song Sabai that's good. You will never get it.

[@michaelbaer5494]

@@strutt01 I hold the bow the same way, only way that feels natural to me

[@anderspeterson3829]

you look like adam sandlers

[@mrice3274]

Sorry dude ... there are no F C and G in the key of A. Call them F# C# and G#. If someone plays F natural it ain't gonna sound right.

[@AlexiBastos]

Your right hand position is trerible.. realy bat... You play very good but if you have a better position you will play a lot better...

[@nsheeler]

Is there a reason why this person is holding the bow the way 4th grade beginners do? Also, maybe try using some of the bottom half of the bow. Don’t make instructional videos unless you at least look like you know what you are doing.
