About this lesson Tabs & MP3s Need Help?

Leather Britches is a lively fiddle tune in G that we're gonna try our single-string hand on. We also have a bit of melodics in the B part, but this one is definitely a single-string workout!

    Got about 80% of this one down but the third measure keeps tripping me. Anybody else find that part awkward at speed?

  2. Roy Ellender ·

    Welcome aboard — you picked a good one to start on.

    You're not behind. Two weeks on a lesson like this is normal and healthy.

    Metronome at 60 and no faster until it's clean twice through. Boring but it works.

  5. Patty Lindstrom ·

    Same here at first. What fixed it for me was practicing that measure by itself for a week, no B part at all.

    Count it out loud. Everyone says it and everyone's right.
