Here's a step-by-step guide to this classic American tune. First I'll play a fast tempo version of the whole thing (0:53). Then we'll slowly learn each quarter of the A part, then the B part. We'll build up each phrases, adding 1-3 notes at a time. Below you’ll find left hand fingerings for each quarter. Use the time link to easily jump to whichever quarter you need to practice.

Try to stay with each phrase for awhile, repeating it in a continuous, nice-sounding loop. Once you have each quarter of the A part, assemble the 1st and 2nd quarters into the first half. then assemble the second half, then the whole A part. Take your time - stay with any part that is difficult, turn it into an exercise.

just use the tabs to get going, don't rely on it or continue to read it once you've got the tune...

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.

Alrighty. Play every day, have fun 😀 and thanks for making music 🙏
