This's one of the best tunes on fiddle i've ever heard, it tickles something deep in my heart and soothes my soul, i'm from Morocco, North West Africa and i have a hankering for Appalachian and its celtic ancestor music . Greetings ❤!!!

[@crazando]

God bless you!

[@johnyreb5464]

Nothing makes me miss home more than the sound of a fiddle

[@uraniumrock8381]

I've been enjoying this for years now, thank you!

[@crazando]

Can't believe my last comment was a year ago! This is my comfort song

[@mmmatthewww]

Hey thanks crazando. I like what you are doing over there on your KZbin channel. Some interesting perspectives.

[@crazando]

@@mmmatthewww Thank you very much! I love the music here and I'm grateful for that! I also plan to do more with my channel

[@crazando]

This is one of the best instrumentals I have ever heard in my life

[@xntricity6446]

From Ireland here and loving this wonderful tune. I want my daughter to learn this on fiddle, it certainly looks tricky.

[@hazeldavis3176]

I'm so lonesome and homesick. Your playing brought me right back home again. Thank you

[@davidculpepper3356]

Beautiful, more of this please!!

[@InpachiB]

Those cabin walls must of been crying tears of joy by the end of that song

[@sherrytaylor8616]

No instrument sounds prettier alone except maybe the bagpipes! Well, to mountain people like me!

[@the32712]

Amen, Amen, Amen, unless of course a rifle counts as an instrument. Then there might be competition heheh

[@carlweeks539]

rifles and bagpipes go together just fine.

[@frankharden8953]

the pipes and the fiddle are the two best sounding instruments on earth

[@Cankuwicasa]

And perhaps the banjo.

[@nashwilliams5852]

Listen to John Fahey, he’ll change your mind...

[@raul_jocson_]

Other versions may have all the right notes, but this guy *gets* the music. This is how it should sound! ;)

[@caelanwilliamson4284]

That was litrerally so sick! Thanks for the upload

[@ts7303]

I love this piece. Listen to it weekly.

[@bluecarrotrm]

It's like listening to my Dad down at the other end of the house. Thanks for the memory, friend.

[@kriskronkle5203]

Im trying to learn this exact version on fiddle and its deceptively hard! Bravo!

[@gplechuckiii]

Thank you. This piece of music has probably changed my life more than any other in my 40 years. I really can't express is words how important this has been to me. If you have a Patreon or a favorite charity I would be happy to donate to either.

[@mmmatthewww]

What a wonderful comment....thanks, and so happy that you enjoy this video performance.

[@hoodoo2001]

Haven't heard anything that good in many, many years.

[@willchase2895]

Thanks for putting this up. Live in the jungle boonies of the big island (hawaii). Its good music.

[@timjobe6246]

Boy he is tearin that thing UP

[@robertc2204]

This, Jenny Lynn and soldiers joy are my favorite old tyme pieces. When Alabama sung OH PLAY ME THAT MOUNTAIN MUSIC.... this is what they were referring to!

[@durrtybuck8949]

Best Fiddle I've heard, thank you sir!

[@georgeharakaly6040]

Love the sound.

[@the32712]

That's some great fiddlin'!

[@barbaramashburn7980]

Beautiful! Great cabin!

[@denislamb4153]

Enjoyed this immensely: thanks for uploading. I've seen quite a few versions of this, but I really liked the energy and speed it was played.

[@beabea3121]

Freaking WOW! Mountain soul 😍

[@NovaAlbionRecords]

Love playing clawhammer to this; real neat tune.

[@GrahamZimmerman]

This looks like Ed Haley's version, tuned down, no?

[@ManWithAName425]

Mr. Greenwood, please credit the performer in the title or description.

[@jbonez495]

If this song doesnt strike something down deep in your soul something is wrong with you. Love this version of it. The other ones are too plain Jane

[@theoldtimefiddler]

It's the bowing pattern. it has a pulse or emphasis on certain beats which gives it drive.

[@georgewells6597]

I need to learn to play fiddle i play appalachian guitar and mandolin but I need a fiddle

[@nicmann3929]

I believe the song is called Candy Girl. Well played :)

[@jellofoxy3069]

Hi, Uncle Matt! :) This is an awesome clip...takes me back to Baileyton summers! Love you both!

[@fredroberts5553]

That was very ausum. Good tune.

[@barbaramashburn7980]

Haaill Yeah! I feel like buck dancing!

[@derbydrifter]

Just been looking for some real fiddling and found it. Beautiful, thank you.

[@austinglover8311]

This is one of the best versions of "lost indian" I've heard. Well done. If anyone knows the source for this version, I'd love to give it a listen as well. Maybe our fiddler here came up with this version on his own but it's so different from the Marion Sumner/ Clark Kessinger, the Willie Chapman and the Wade Ward ways of playing it, I suspect there must be some other akin version to justify calling it Lost Indian. Thank you so much!

[@poisonvax1927]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[@warrenhuffman3910]

You played that wonderfully, thank you for your performance.

[@Mollywood54]

Fantastic! Thankyou so much.

[@ManKannonProductions]

I keep coming back to listen to this. Right now it's my favourite piece of music. Could anyone point me to any of similar songs?

[@minipod2002]

ManKannon Productions Search for Appalachian fiddle music and you'll find similar items.

[@geanvincentalmendras1559]

Look up “Reel du Pendu” it’s a French Canadian fiddle tune with the same feel

[@ChivoChun]

You made my night man ty!

[@eddievilla3793]

Truly amazing. Thank you for sharing.

[@thissucks2272]

I'd love to play with some old timers.

[@brianc2619]

I would pay to hear him play Sally Gooden done this same style

[@timsmusicadventures]

Sounds like Lost Indian in low calico tuning (GDGB). Not sure the source of this version but check my channel for a version we played (calico A) at a festival but also look on slippery-hill com website under calico tuning. Eck Robertson's is similar to this. THis rocks, btw.

[@thatguy-dh3ml]

The Gospel 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, 2 Cor. 5:19-21,Ephesians 1:13-14 KJV ✝️✌️❤️

[@papadean.]

How are you tuning for this song? GDGD, GDAE?

[@ProfesserLuigi]

Seems related to Ed Haley's version, in a different key for sure.

[@cervus-venator]

Closest version I've found to this is Benny Thomasson kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXubhKh9pbmaoLs I've listened to several versions such as: Eck Robertson, Ed Haley, Kenny Baker trying to find the closet match. Vi Wickam plays it in GDGB which sounds a lot like this version. Personally I like this version the best as it is just the fiddle and foot tapping. I keep coming back to this video and listening to it because as mentioned I like it the best.

[@QuickHillFilms]

Totally different from the version of Lost Indian that I know. This sounds a lot like a version of “Davy Davy”

[@mobilechief]

WOW! Nice!

[@johnclayburchett]

So. 1. What’s your tuning here? Just cross G? Where did you originally pick this one up?

[@johnclayburchett]

Or possibly GDGB?

[@AphidsAndForestFires]

awesome! thanks for the reply, I will check it all out!

[@flamencoprof]

Awesome!

[@ManKannonProductions]

Amazing.

[@julia_pitonyak]

Hi Matt, how long have you been playing? Just wondering about how long it will take me to get there, LOL. This is definitely at the top, if not #1, of my fiddle goals list. Absolutely love it. Thanks for the vid.

[@joseph2832]

practice 3 times a day for 30 minutes. You will be surprised what you can do in a years time. Tired of these violinist discouraging people...you can do it!

[@5050TM]

@@joseph2832 Yeah, once you've the basics down you just need daily practice.

[@Marcygr]

love this he needs Abby playing spoons to play along.....

[@singskindabadly]

Is this played with GDGD tuning?

[@mattmr8320]

someone had the score for this version please ?

[@Grasbakken71]

Yeeeha! who is playing here? My feet kept moving.

[@poisonvax1927]

why in the hell were they not dancing?

[@barbaramashburn7980]

Do another one!

[@bodinejohnsonmusic]

YES SIR !

[@pat2430]

How the hell is there 3 dislikes, should be 0

[@mmmatthewww]

I agree! But when you take into account that there are thumbs-down left on metronome videos (no kidding!), you realize what you are dealing with.

[@AphidsAndForestFires]

what is the name of this tune?! I want to learn it!

[@cstrutherskgs]

Lost Indian

[@mattmr8320]
