A classic fiddle tune in the key of D! This one is simple enough for all to learn, but with some cool tricks thrown in the second A and B parts...I love those chromatic runs! Have fun with this one!

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

    There's a slower jam track under the resources tab on this lesson, worth grabbing.

    Not just you. I still count this one out loud and I've been at it four years.

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

    Answered over in the tab thread too, but short version: play what's comfortable, the tab is a map not a law.
