Pig Ankle Rag All Levels Fiddle Lesson

The great thing about fiddle tunes is that you can make them as simple or as fancy as you want. In this video, I start with a simple version and then give you some ideas for dressing it up.

Love this tune. I'm a beginning fiddler and really enjoying your slow paced tutorial. The options to dress it up after getting the basics down are awesome.

I’m glad you like it!

This was a fun find. I love playing this tune and appreciate your ideas on improvising. We do the rag time stop in the B part where the lead can go wild for a few beats. Do you not usually play AABB?

[@Fiddlequick]

I found it played both AABB and not. I guess it depends on what you like. Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@ssgiddyup]

That does explain why one place I've heard it doesn't repeat. Thanks!

Hello. Thank you for this " valuable stuff". I want to subscribe to your patreon but I can't find it at the Url you give. Is it closed?

[@Fiddlequick]

Yes, unfortunately, I had to close it. I am making the sheet music for my fiddle tune versions available. You can write me at [e-mail]

Has your patreon website changed? Where can I find the sheet music? Thank you for the Strum Machine app tip - just got the trial.

[@Fiddlequick]

I discontinued the Patreon site. Please email me at [e-mail] for the sheet music.
