You should link to the vid of Kenny baker playing this. You play it pretty well but you're way off on the bowing, and it really does matter...Kenny's bowing creates a rhythm, swing and drive that are unique. In other words, if you're going to say you're teaching the Kenny Baker version, that doesn't just mean the notes. The bowing is an important element of what makes it his.
Is there a video where you play this whole song slowly, say, at the speed of the teaching video? a slow paced accompaniment video would be great also :)
First of all, love to see lessons on You Tube that are actually for free, no gimmick,! This guys is great. Taught me Whiskey Before Breakfast and I am working on Jerusalem Ridge.
Secondly, this guy uses great instructional language referring to position, notes, intervals. Easy to figure out what he is doing and I feel like my musical knowledge is growing.
Lastly, his fiddle is in TUNE! Lots of other posters either have off recordings or lousy tuning.
my friend plays this song good so check it out at Jerusalem ridge jayj45365
