Slow teaching video of a old-time fiddle tune from New Mexico: El Churrumbe. I play it through once quickly and then go slowly phrase-by-phrase. I play on mandolin rather than fiddle because the frets make it easier to see where the notes are. Same fingering otherwise and single bows work fine on this tune.
A fun tune to play, yet simple that it works very well at jams - most recently at an unlikely place: the 2009 Valley of the Moon Scottish fiddle camp. Quite a few people who couldn't quite pick it up immediately asked for it, so here you go at slow speed.
Very nicely done. Well explained and easy to follow. Thanks, Roland
