FIDDLE JOHN

John Fowler playing the fiddle in the Carolina Appalachian Old Timey Style
It's called Old-Time. The fiddle, not violin is crossed tuned AEAE. The bowing is called "down bowing" A lot of older fiddlers held the fiddle in front, to the side, or even low and on the chest. It's mountain folk fiddling...an older ninetenth century Appalachian style of playing.

i love the sound of the fiddle.... it somehow makes me feel all nice inside and can make a sh*t day all that better.

Umm....do you have a point to this? Or just voicing your insecurity. This video is meant for us trying to learn the fiddle with help from the wonderfully talented fiddlers out there like Fiddle John. Please keep your personal issues to yourself.

Great fiddling man. It's always so good to hear other true old-timey fiddlers out there. My brother and I are posting lessons on my channel and at FiddlinMike. com teaching Appalachian style because we think it's important to keep the style alive. Keep on fiddling man!

Ever shoved a fiddle up a mule's ass? It is funny as Hell!

If you close your eyes when you listen to it , the little nuances of his style come out. BRAVO! wonderful fiddling! I hope one day I can play remotely near this good.

 Sounds a little like Cripple Creek.

@pugh7755 looks like you're starting to stutter as well, can't take heat? I could probably rock your shit in a fight, sadly enough though, we'll never fight. I'm gonna be the more mature one and end this fight with this last post, seeing as you are too immature to end it and stop replying. Farewell sir, I hope you have a dandy time being a contradicting, pretentious little bitch.
