Michael Doucet's Learn Cajun Fiddle - excellent!, January 25, 2008
This review is from: Learn to Play Cajun Fiddle [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Being a life-long musician, I had decided to learn to play the fiddle and started with Michael Doucet's set of CD's.
I find them easy to follow, but I suspect they may be a bit more challenging if you don't already play an instrument.
He presents a song, starting at a rudimentary but essential version and builds on it. The nice thing is that it presents a level that is appropriate to begin rehearsing, or even performing, and offers countless variations that you can learn as you progress in skill level.
I've been working on CD #1 for a couple weeks now and it's been fun "catching-on"! I actually thought that this instrument would be more difficult than it is, at least in order to achieve the fundamental Cajun sounds, thanks to Michael's excellent instruction!
I'd definitely recommend this instruction set :-)
