Willow Creek - Old-time Tunes and Lessons #1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 чер 2024
- In this lesson I break down one of my all time favorite old-time tunes, Willow Creek. This one comes from the playing of James Bryan via Brittany Haas. This one has a crooked A and B part and has some neat harmonic movement in the B section.
In this lesson, you'll learn both the tune and bowings and some tips about getting a better feel in your old-time playing.

Great lesson. alot to digest here.
This is a difficult tune! I’m gonna do something easier for the next one!
@@lilliansawyerfiddle as a more intermediate player I like the content. It’s very easy to find beginner lessons so you should stick to what you want to show people ;). For instance I loved the Aubrie Haynie SSotM lesson and I have watched it a few times.
Hi, hate to be negative but!… not sure what level of player you’re pitching this at, but how is this a “lesson” when you don’t teach the notes of the tune?? P.S. You have a great control of your technique, nice sound and you’re obviously an accomplished musician, but overall this video was dull. Must try harder! Nice playing though 👍🏻🎻
I appreciate the feedback! The idea is that you’re supposed to learn the tune by ear and that I have slowed it down and broken it into bite-sized chunks to digest. I think my content is currently targeted at people who already have a familiarity with the genre and have some understanding of the fundamentals of it.
@@lilliansawyerfiddle as a professional musician and violin teacher myself, this method is fine for me. I just think that it’s a big ask for a lot of students to be able to learn a tune by ear. Your control over your fingering hand (I can’t tell whether you’re right or left handed) is incredible and at times it’s like your fingers aren’t even moving, so it’s difficult to even guess where you’re playing. I just think even putting up the sheet music would at least be of use as not everyone can just use their ears. You’re a great player and I wish you all the best. I’m not an internet troll and never comment like this usually but I was compelled as a teacher to ! ☺️
@@jezking8816 Funny. I came here to say that this lesson was at exactly the right level, exactly in the goldilocks zone for me. I'm barely a beginner at the fiddle (but coming from other instruments), and very much into learning this style of music by ear. Thank you so much. I just wanted to counter the negative feedback a bit. I HATE lessons where tunes are taught note by note. I don't have the patience for those. All to say, for some of us, this was just perfection. Thanks!
@@engelsanchez I’m happy for you. My comment was merely as a professional violin teacher, in my experience very few students can work out tunes by ear. If you read my comment properly I basically just advised to attach the sheet music for assistance to the learner. It was just an observation using my experience as a teacher. 👍🏻🎻
@@engelsanchezI appreciate your feedback as well!
