Morrisons Jig (double) learner and full speed versions
This is on of those iconic Irish jigs that you’ll hear being played in many sessions.
There are more versions than I could begin to tell you about, which is a good thing!
This version should make it easy for you to be able to tackle any others that you will come across.
00:00 intro
00:46 learner version (learn this first!)
02:52 fast version you might need to slow this down if you’re trying to learn I properly)

The Milltimber (Scottish double jig) played on the violin/fiddle

One of my favourite tunes. I believe that it was originally written for a workshop being held in the Glasgow area. This is a slightly more advanced version that brings across some interesting techniques in the B part. 00:00 Intro 00:14 Learner version 01:30 Session version Have fun!

A not so well known double jig that deserves a lot more attention, in my opinion! 00:00 intro 00:23 learner version - do this first! 02:02 session version - let’s get it moving! Enjoy 🎻
The Silver Spire (reel) played on the fiddle/violin
Переглядів 2503 місяці тому
One of my favourite reels! Not to be confused with the more well known ‘Silver Spear’, which is also a great tune. 00:31 Intro 02:12 Session version (fast!) you can always slow this down to hear all of the notes. Apologies but apparently I was in a hurry! 🎻 Many thanks to Jenny T for filming today!
La Bruxa - traditional Galician played on the violin/fiddle
Переглядів 2133 місяці тому
Here is a simple and unadorned version of this beautiful tune from Galicia, found on the north west coast of Spain. There is much that I could write about this stunning region, so I will keep it short! For those of you who don’t know, they are very much their own people with their own language and culture. They share many of their roots with Ireland and other Celtic/Gaelic cultures. 🎻 Ps. La Br...

Autumn Leaves (Nat King Cole)
Переглядів 3364 місяці тому
Here is something a little different! A simple unadorned version of this jazz composition penned by the famous Nat King Cole. This version was bought to me by one of my students, who found it handwritten (on sheet music) online somewhere. Therefore I know not whose version this is! Either way, I hope that you enjoy listening to and learning it. 🎻🎶

A version (there are many) of this lovely double jig. 00:00 Intro 00:22 Learner version 02:02 Session version By popular request, I have added two versions, one for learning the notes/bowing and the other for bringing up to speed. For this take, I chose to remain on the E string in the 5th bar and starting the repeat and phrase from the open E so that it flows more. You can, of course start bot...

Lord Mayo (Irish march) played on the fiddle
Переглядів 2386 місяців тому
This fantastic tune was written by David Murphy. Here I have pared it back to give you the basics of how to play it (follow the bowing carefully once you have the tune) properly on the violin. Also I have provided a more upbeat version so that you can hear how it translates into a performance piece. I hope that you enjoy this and that it helps! 🎻💪🏼

    Enjoy to play your fav song, I am in the same boat with you. I started taking violin lessons the first week of my retirement years for 6 years, my violin teacher thought I am too old to learn but after a couple years to my surprise, he said " You may play in front of your friends " even he accompanied my redemption with a piano (concerto) which made him more surprise without any glitches. Day one, I told him, I choose the songs not you because I won't get bored to practice. At this moment, I play by ear, as the audience won't notice the mistakes anyway.

    Hi Matt, Great videos, do you recommend treble bowing up/down/up. And should it be wrist and fingers or is the forearm involved. Thank you

    • @matttarling
      @matttarling 8 місяців тому

      Hi John, thank you! I learnt to play trebles, UDU and that is where my comfort zone is when playing tunes. Ideally, if you’re inclined towards pushing the bar much higher with trebles, then you’d want learn them DUD as well, just for versatility. As for how, my approach starts with pressing the bow into the string, mostly using the right hand index finger, so that the hair grips the string. Play two very short bows (grip) followed by a longer bow that gets you to the next note/beat of the tune. It’s not a perfect explanation, but I hope that it helps!

    • @matttarling
      @matttarling 10 місяців тому

      Hi Bruce, you're not wrong! Reels (ril) were originally bought to Scotland from mainland Europe, as the 'Quadrille', just as much as jigs were orignally 'Gigues'. The Slip jig is notable as being the only true dance form to originate from Ireland (as far as current knowledge allows), and nowhere else. A lot of imports happening with music!!

    This is good, and useful for learners. The reel is a good one, and the tempo (initially) is very encouraging for learners. Later, up to speed, it's a good performance. If you want to learn how to play a reel like this, can be trusted and is helpful. I liked it. 🎻
