Fiddle Tune Friday
One of the best ways to grow as a bluegrass guitarist is to live with a single tune for a while. Not to master it. Just to get it into your hands, ears, and body.
So let’s try something simple and consistent.
Each Friday, we’ll put one fiddle tune in the center of the circle. The goal is not speed or flash. It’s familiarity. Knowing the melody well enough that your hands stop panicking and your timing starts to settle.
Here’s how to use this thread in whatever way fits your life this week:
• Share a tune you’re working on or want to work on
• Ask a question about a tune that’s been giving you trouble
• Post a recording, even a rough one
• Or just say “I’m listening this week” and soak it in
If you’re newer to fiddle tunes, don’t overthink it. A clean melody at a comfortable tempo is real progress. If you’ve been playing a long time, this is a chance to revisit fundamentals and feel.
I’ll jump in with thoughts on melody, timing, and how I practice these tunes when time is limited.
What fiddle tune has your attention right now? I've been hooked on Angeline the Baker.
