Red Haired Boy fiddle tune (or Little Beggar Man) Play-through

This is a quick play-through so you can learn the melody. Hum along and practice your air-bowing. If you know it really well you can play along. This is apparently a traditional Irish tune, but the music I'm using is The American Fiddle Method by Brian Wicklund, published by Mel Bay.

Hi, i'm learning the fiddle and your videos have been a godsend, especially this one! If you lived in the UK i'd be knocking at your door every other week for help! I was wondering if you could do more play-throughs of fiddle tunes such as this one, because i learned it really quickly thanks to you :) I need to learn more jaunty tunes like this soo.... i'd be grateful if you could help! :) Thank you!

@Yelleanor - what are the fiddle tunes that are most popular for students where you are? I do plan to put out a series of videos of fiddle tunes - although free time is at a premium for doing these things. However - I'll get to it as I can. I have Orange Blossom Special (U.S.) and Devil's reel (Canada?) on the list - any requests?

@AllysonsViolinStudio Well that's just it, i don't know any! I'd love to learn whatever you can throw at me though :') I look forward to any new folk tunes you post :)
