Calliope House

In 1984 Dave Richardson of the Boys of the Lough composed a jig in E-Major which he named "Calliope House" in honor of a famous pub in Pittsburgh. The rest is history!

can you go a little slower on the first few notes? the ones that are on the a and e strings like the very first ones the strings that you play are a e a a e a a e a a e a a

im a little confused on that and i cant make it sound like yours even though ive been trying everyday for hours and hours and yet no progress :(

Thanks! :)

@Analiketika411 Those are the right strings. Here is the fingering: 1 0 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 1. Here are the notes: b e b b g# b b f# b b g g# b b. The first e is the first note of the measure.

this is awesome! what bowing would you recommend using?

[JohnsFiddleLessons]

@928ROSIE For the most part.... Bow every note on the A section, then do a long-short pattern on the B section.

Sir, with the help of postings like yours, I have begun to learn to play fiddle. As we know, when learning something by sheet music only, As an amateur, it is hard to grasp the rhythm, mood, technique and meter of the songs. There is a frustration factor with formal lessons as learning is delivered at a pace without the advantages of Stop/Pause/Rewind which I disparately need. Keep up the wonderful postings.There would be no harm in accepting tips through PayPal as your lessons help me greatly.

Hey dude, it looks like your version of McMaster-Carr is outdated!
