In this video I’m going to slowly play the notes on the fiddle so you can check your tuning. I’ll also give the note name in addition to the fingering in the right hand corner.

For beginners, I will start with a simple one octave D major scale. 

I hope this is useful for you!

#=sharp
b=flat

D major scale
D: D0
E: D1
F#: D2
G: D3
A: A0
B: A1
C#: A2
D: A3

Then, for intermediate to advanced players, I will play each note of the chromatic scale, starting on open G, slowly climbing to high fourth finger on E string.

Chromatic scale
G: G0
G# or Ab: GL1
A: G1
Bb: GL2
B: G2
C: G3
C# or Db: GH3 or GL4
D: D0 or G4 
D# or Eb: DL1
E: D1
F: DL2
F#: D2
G: D3
G# or Ab: DH3 OR DL4
A: A0 or D4
A# or Bb: AL1
B: A1
C: AL2
C#: A2
D: A3
D# or Eb: Ah3 or AL4
E: E0 or A4
F: EL1
F#: E1
G: EL2
G# or Ab: E2
A: E3
A# or Bb: EH3 or EL4
B: E4
C: EH4

I made some “Learning Chunks” on the FiddleHed site to help you do this. These focused exercises contain sheet music, tabs and mp3 snippets to guide you on each step of your fiddle journey. 

These and all new lesson pages can be viewed for one week after publication with a FREE trial membership. Check it out here: https://fiddlehed.com

And after you sign up, I’ll also send you a mini-course of lessons specially designed for your skill level.

Alrighty. Play every day, have fun 😀 and thanks for making music 🙏  
   
Now, go fiddle with it...
