(Key of A)

The history of this wonderful super standard fiddle tune is quite murky. I learned it decades ago from Pete Sutherland. I recorded it on Journey to the Heartland (2005). In these lessons, we cover many concepts: the theory of the chord progression, left-hand lead and the advantages that the approach affords, “swing,” accent shifts, syncopation, various approaches to back-up featuring a monster rising bassline, a harmony, and lots of variations using lots of arranging ideas. Much here to work through and have fun in the process. You can hear my recording of the tune here (with Robin Bullock & Elke Baker).

Here's What You Get:
