Easy Georgia Shuffle - Fiddle Lesson

The Georgia Shuffle is a great way to make your fiddling sound more like fiddling. It lends an offbeat rhythmic texture to tunes.
I’ve taught this before, but I’ve recently come up with an easier way to present it.
Basic principles:
Slur three eighth notes in an upbow, followed by a single eighth note in a downbow.
The downbow happens on beats two and four, creating a natural accent on the offbeats.
Use this with tunes that are based in eighth notes (most fiddle reels and breakdowns).

Hey, this is a great lesson. There’s a lot of detail and technique, hiding surreptitiously in that simple tune. Thank you for making it easier to unpack… And hey, the practice 1000x is a great reminder, and strong improver. Done with awareness, it’s gold. Just like your “hardest part of the hardest part. Love your work, Mr Fiddles. Thank you.

Glad you liked it! And glad you see that there's more to play 1000x than just doing it mechanically. It's an opportunity to be creative...

Hi Fiddlehed. Love how you explain things. Build a house around it. Thks very much this makes sense.

[@johnaustin1825]

A very hard rhythm to get but great way of teaching it. This took the most effort so far. Play it a 1000 times - was that Chet Atkins?

Hey I've been jumping around on all of your lessons, but I want to really concentrate on them now. Should I start at the beginning?

[@michaelschaap1645]

I wish I could afford you. I’m on SSDI. Doesn’t leave much in way of money. Be nice if the increase it like they say they are going to. Then i could definitely afford it.
