Editorial Reviews

One of today’s most popular performers of old-time music teaches six great tunes, each from a different geographical area of the Southern U.S. As you play along with Bruce you’ll learn bowing patterns, drones, rhythmic emphasis, phrasing and other subtleties that will add drive and beauty to your fiddle playing.

Each piece is in a different tuning, an important aspect of the old-time style. Songs include Washington’s March from Pocahantas County, West Virginia (DDAD tuning); Saddle Up the Gray from Mississippi (GDAD); Old Bunch of Keys from North Carolina (AEAE); The Lost Indian, a Texas tune (AEAC#); and Candy Girl, a 1924 Tennessee tune (AEAD “sawmill” tuning). Do ‘Round My Lindy, from Georgia (ADAD), demonstrates how to sing and play fiddle at the same time. Bruce shows how you can use both basic and non-traditional harmonies to create compelling sounds and add to the richness of your accompaniment.

This review is from: DVD-Southern Old-Time Fiddle Tour (DVD)

This is really great stuff, well presented. My only criticism would be I'd like to see more tracks so its easier to replay the tunes from where you need to, in order to learn them. Fortunately I learn fast by ear, by everyone may not. Not for beginners, but perfect for the mid level player like me.
