I hope this isn't clueless question. It seems as if playing the fiddle would require holding a little bit still to get it right, and at the same time, you can't help but move. How on earth do you fiddle players manage?
this is the best version of the CAJUN FIDDLE I have heard on the entirity of youtube . . . . .. I decided to save your particular version to my mp3 player, so I can listen to it all the time as I walk around town . . . love it.
AMAZING!!!!!!!!! I listen to a LOT of fiddle music from Mark 0'Connor, Aly Bain , Johnny Cunningham and in my opinion sir, you rank right up there with those players.
Peakfiddler Sir: Can you play at my wedding in Jennings, Louisiana. I'll be sometime in the summer, we will have Crawfish, Gumbo,Boiled crabs & Oysters.oopps, and plenty of beers. It can't get no more Cajun than this. sincerely : Manny
Can you tell us what type of fiddle you play. I thought I saw the information somewhere. However I can't find it now. You may want to post such info on your web site.
If I first heard this on a tape or a CD for the first time, I would have sworn that the music coming out of that fiddle must be from a true cajun! I'm a fiddle player myself, but I want to get into playing cajun. I guess I must have seen this video 3 times in a row! Cajun Cooking! Keep playin' man, you're an awsome fiddler!
I really enjoy playing the blues and anything a bit rocky. I suppose that's why the Cajun style of playing feels so right to play on the fiddle. Loads of room for expression and improvisation.
Come to Eunice La, Liberty Theater, the only Cajun Music Broadcast in the USA. I moved here not to long ago and am learning Cajun fiddle myself.. I'm starting from the very basic.. I will post a link for you to see our Cajun Jam session at Music store here in Eunice , its owned by Mark Savoy , world known Accordian Maker and player. Also A Master fiddler, Harry LaFlure who started the "Cajun French Music Association ..
The first tune is called 'Cajun Cooking' and there is a midi file of this tune somewhere on the web. The second tune is called ' See you later Alligator' which I originally learnt from the version sung by Bill Hailey and the Comets.
Don't forget the link I put in the description notes for the basic 'Cajun Cooking' melody. However, these do not include the double stops.
HAHA!! If it were only that easy, I'd be driving to heathrow even now, cash in hand to buy a plane ticket...)
I've actually been for a grand total of about a week..) Long hard road ahead, but I'm happy to take it. My gran's Creole, and I'm furiously trying to get good enough to play for her one day.

Did you ever get a chance to put together a few pieces to upload? I am starting to play a fiddle on Tuesday, and I would love to have a helping hand. I plan to learn on my own, so any little tip would be great! Loved to listen to you here, and cant wait to see more :) ~Lindsey~
Hi Lindsey - Yes, I did put some videos together, but according to one of the fiddle websites, my bowing technique is wrong for beginners, so I took them down again. Check back for more fiddle videos coming soon though. Chris
@peakfiddler ive been to several websites, as i will be purchasing and learning to play the fiddle. as i understand it, no bowing is wrong, some just prefer one method over the other, i assume it comes to personal preferance, but hey , keep on fiddlin great work!
There is ANOTHER country music virtuoso in the UK...in Thetford I think.....he's on YouTube.....davepedalsteel..........Dave Hartley. FANTASTIC on the pedal steel guitar...he's worth a listen for sure.
Nice job on the "coon ass" fiddlin. Sound a whole lot better than many who play for a living. lol When ever I;m going to play cajun I always loosen my bow just a tad bit more to get that real sound. Thanks for posting.
Don't know why you feel you need to offer apologies to "real" cajun fiddlers - like the guys already said, you'd hold your own anywhere!!! super playing, makes me want to pick pu my fiddle!!!!! Keep it up!!!
I have so enjoyed playing along with your video. You look like you're having so much fun whilst making the video. It's easy to tell you enjoy the music. I lived in Louisiana a while and got to enjoy some of the music live and got hooked on it. Now I'm back in NC carrying a bit with me. Hope you post more lessons on your main site. I've found them helpful as well since I'm fairly new to fiddling. Cheers!
I lke the fiddle playing very much.. it is in my family and in my blood... but if u want people to learn how to play try not moving so much so we can get alook at your hand and fingers... if we cant see the fingers then it make it a little more challanging just to play by ear.
WOW this is a great Video your very good i am learing to play myself i am working on two songs now one is very bad and the other is even worse maybe some day i will good enough to post something
Thank you very kindly for all of your encouraging comments. I really would enjoy visiting Lousiana and it would be great to meet some local musicians. I am a fan of Cajun, Zydeco, Blues and Trad Jazz music, so there would be so much to listen to.
Blues and Jazz music in the UK is fantastic and it enjoys a big following. Zydeco and Cajun are less well known genres. So I always play a Cajun or Zydeco tune at every gig to make people more aware.
Almost every night , I Listen to you while I'm having dinner. It's like being at a real cajun restaurant. Thanks so much. I bet you can come here to Lousiana and get a job instantly playing the fiddle.
I'm a Cajun, and a multi-instrumentalist like yourself. You'd be welcome at any fais-do-do (Cajun Dance) and what we couldn't pay you in dollars (or in your case pounds or Euros), we'd make up for in boudin and crawfish. I've never seen a Brit who could play cajun fiddle like you do. Laissez les bon temps roullez! (Let the good times roll!) Keep up the great work!
As Capt. Piccard in Star Trek would say, "Well Done!" While I play mainly bluegrass, Cajun music has the power to make you want to get up and dance (I wish I could say that bluegrass has the same quality, but it doesn't.) If you showed up at a Cajun jam session, you wouldn't have any trouble finding folks to play with. Keep up the good work!
You are Fantastic, Please see on you tube - TWANGSTERS UNION and make your comments, This party was here in Leesville , La. We threw this party on Sept 11, 2009
Nosir, it aint perfect Cajun Fiddlin, but you sure would get a bunch a big grins and plenty of dancing going round if you popped up somewhere in LA playin like that!!!!
Actually Coonass is not a racist slur. If you do a Wikipedia search it really doesn't have anything to do with African American People and more a nick name used all the time by Cajun folks in La and Tx. I'm not racist, just incase someone else takes offence to that.
tempo is a little slow and you could swing it a little more, play more choppier i guess, but that sounds pretty damn good. I live in lafayette louisiana
wow .. very nice. i have lived in south louisiana my entire life. you should google 'festivals acadianne" and think about coming over for a visit. you will fit right in.
I am not Cajun, but I am from East Texas. And you sir, sure play good enough to pass as Cajun. Keep it up! As you know, Always Eat Crawfish before playing!
thank you for replying to my message you do sound great thou so i think you should do more and then get people who want to play like you set up a peak fiddler club hehe good idea :)
Hey, great fiddle music. Cajun fiddle got quite a distinct sound from norwegian fiddle. Fiddle and the special Hardingfiddle is different from this, but I love the sound scope :-)
Wow, it's great seeing someone obviously having fun with their instrument and moving around with it. So many people go about it like prayer and brain surgery, they forget that you can have FUN with music.

tempo is a little slow and you could swing it a little more, play more choppier i guess, but that sounds pretty damn good. I live in lafayette louisiana

I am not Cajun, but I am from East Texas. And you sir, sure play good enough to pass as Cajun. Keep it up! As you know, Always Eat Crawfish before playing!

Hey, great fiddle music. Cajun fiddle got quite a distinct sound from norwegian fiddle. Fiddle and the special Hardingfiddle is different from this, but I love the sound scope :-)

Wow, it's great seeing someone obviously having fun with their instrument and moving around with it. So many people go about it like prayer and brain surgery, they forget that you can have FUN with music.

There is a rather pricey hardcover book called: Ye Yaille Chere, Traditional Cajun Dance Music - Raymond E. Francois
Do a Google search, runs between $27-30. It's got about 400 songs.

no you dont...just improvise, that's all fiddling is, improvisation!!!
JustinK078 2 years ago
you can transpose anything, but to be honest...the answer SHOULD be yes..sound isn't the same. ;)
