@capitalismforever When I was taking lessons, my instructor trained my in bluegrass and western swing. He once explained to me thtat contest style fiddling was taking the basic tune and improvising around it. That version sounds remarkably similar to the contest version my teacher used to play.

Nice job. Here's a critique, not a criticism so please don't take it as the latter. Play less "trills" and stick to the song.

Nice job. Only problem is you look like Jerry Springer. LOL
