In this fiddle lesson I’ll show you how to play the raised third finger and the lower octave of the A major scale. We’ll also learn Twinkle Little Star and Oh Susannah in this lower register of the A scale.

The lower octave of the A scale would be tabbed like this:
G1-2-H3-D0-1-2-H3-A0

Twinkle in lower A scale
G1-1-D1-1-2-2-1
D0-0-GH3-H3-2-2-1
D1-1-0-0-GH3-H3-2
D1-1-0-0-GH3-H3-2
G1-1-D1-1-2-2-1
D0-0-GH3-H3-2-2-1

Oh Susannah in lower A scale
G1-2-H3-D1-1-2-1-GH3-1-2-H3-H3-2-1-2
G1-2-H3-D1-1-2-1-GH3-1-2-H3-H3-2—2-1-1
D0-0-2-2-2-1-2-1-GH3-2
G1-2-H3-D1-1-2-1-GH3-1-2-H3-H3-2—2-1-1

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

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