The Derry Hornpipe (My Second Fiddle Piece)

I am trying to play fiddle pieces. I am not familiar with the style, but I am trying to learn. I want to go to Scotland and Ireland before my Bike Ride Across America next year. We'll see! Maybe that will be my next tour after the America trip. I will tour across Scotland and Ireland playing fiddle pieces....

@johnyprestige Thank you! Actually, this was my first time playing this piece. I did it in one take. I was surprised by that myself! :) lol

@FloraBaxton Thank you, lil' sis!

Very nice. I think you have a better grip on the style than you realize. Your use of slides (glissandi), small as they were, gave it a very authentic Midwestern European fiddle feel. Maybe just a little flat on the A string during the passages with a lot of crossing. But still really good and probably better than what i could do lol xD

@Devilstrill1605 Thank you! Yeah, it did get a tad bit flat, but I was sight reading and the subsequent takes I did sucked. So, I used this one! :) Sometimes you get it better the first time around. HA Ha ha..
