It's a fun way to approach fiddle tunes. There are some limitations but for the most part it works with pretty much any tune.

This was extremely helpfull- and perfect timing. I just had a fiddle lesson today on the 'georgia' shuffle and was gonna learn Breaking Up Christmas for the holidays. Now I can learn a new song and apply the new technique at the same time. Thanks a bunch - also I accidentally ranked you with one star but meant to do 5. Its not letting me re-rank you, though...

Sorry 'bout that

Thanks fozzygoiter, I appreciate the feedback. I plan to put up another tune with the same style of bowing to demonstrate it a little more.

Great old time fiddle tips. I have been trying to figure out how they get that 'up bow' groove going and this is the first time I have gotten it. Exciting, I can feel the rhythm and can't wait to try it on some other old time tunes.

Thanks for the tip! I've been playing the fiddle now for 5 years and learn some new technique everytime i look up something on here. Thanks for sharing! Jeff

Thanks for this great explanation! Very helpful!

As a new to fiddling fiddler - bowing is quite the difficulty and your video has brought the most understanding that I have found, so far!
