Using Fiddle Tabs to Make Lessons Online EasierFiddle tab charts for the most popular fiddle tunes and fast MP3 file downloads make these lessons fun and easy. Your fiddle lessons use fiddle tab, not standard music notation See the notes in the example below:
This is standard music notation. What finger do you use? What string do you play? Even beginning Suzuki violin students are not expected to read this. What to speak of fiddle students who just want to play a fiddle tune? Now compare the fiddle tab you see just below.
You see exactly what string to play and what finger to use. No mystery. No problem. You can learn to play fiddle faster and easier with fiddle tab. And have more fun doing it, too. Suppose you already play by ear--you can learn to read fiddle tab in a few minutes or less. It's intuitive. It's easy. It's fun. And with the quick MP3 download links, you only need no MP3 software you already have. (Windows Media Player, QuickTime, iTunes, for example.) These lessons are easy and fun. And the value is 100% guaranteed. How good are these online fiddle tab lessons? Here's what one fiddler wrote:
The first fiddle lesson gives you an introduction to reading fiddle tab charts. You will learn to play Shady Grove, a haunting modal tune based on a folk song. This lesson is free as an example. It's very basic. The second lesson in fiddle technique shows you how to Groove Your Shuffle. This gives you the danceable rhythm than makes people tap their toes. You will apply this concept to Bilem Cabbage Down. I use to charge $9.95 for this. Now it's free. For now. The third fiddle instruction session teaches you the Power Stroke. This exciting technique can be used in most tunes. You will try it out in Ida Red. It's a perfect tune for learning this technique. It makes you sound like you are playing faster than you really are. The fourth online fiddle lesson is all about hammer-ons and pull-offs. You can easily create a lot of excitement in your playing with this factor. The first time I heard this I was astounded at the way the fiddler was playing so fast. Later, I realized, he was not playing fast at all! Cripple Creek, a Top 10 Tune, is a good model for learning this. The first two lessons are free. Use them as much as you like. The last two have been drastically reduced in price. When I add video, this will change, no doubt. For now, you can get the best bargain in online fiddle instruction right here and right now. PayPal takes any credit card and guarantees your satisfaction. So do I. Only $7.97!
