Cherokee Shuffle (fiddle lesson)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 лют 2021
- Here's a straight-ahead old time/bluegrass fiddle tune in A, made particularly interesting by the scattering of unexpected minor chords.
In this fiddle lesson I go through the basic melody, using on-screen sheet music, and discuss possible open string drones. I finish off with a bluegrass solo, trying out the major and minor blues scales.

Finally someone able to play well, humble, and not doing mathematics after each notes....bravo
Thanks Frank!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, because evidently that helps. This is the best fiddle Channel on UA-cam
Many thanks Jimmy!
Excellent choice of tune Chris. Well played. I like the A Major Blues improvisation. Must try this. Thank you. 👍
Thanks John!
Ya know it’s about time I sit down and learn this one… Hoot Hester used to play it on the Opry and I eventually took up fiddling partly because of Hoot. He died before I got the chance to meet him or thank him for the inspiration. Guess I’ll woodshed this one up this week.
It's one of my favorite Tunes to play On the Banjo and on the Mandolin and now I guess I have to learn it on the fiddle
Great tune, great playing
Thanks Chico!
Hi Chris. I finally decided I needed to learn Cherokee Shuffle so thanks for the lesson. I note in bars 23 and 24 you are recommending shifting to third position but at least for me shifting to second position moving from third finger on the A to third finger on the B . It seems to be a quicker and easier shift.
Hi Ivan. I always say that there are many ways to play any tune, and whatever suits you is the best one!
Where could I get the pdf file for this tune
HI John. Send me an email- my address is at the bottom of the video description above.
