  • Most oldtime fiddlers will tell you that the real stuff is in the bowing. It can easily take a lifetime to work through the intricacies of all that happens in oldtime fiddle bowing. But you gotta start somewhere. In this video oldtime fiddler Craig Judelman explores several of the foundational techniques of the bowing hand that make oldtime so unique.

    "I recommend spending a good amount of time with your right hand... and your fiddle" Went over my head the first time, hilarious

    Thanks for the video! I am only recently learning old-time...I got into fiddling via the Celtic scene which is a whole different thing as you may know. The bowing is the hardest part for me, but your video really helped especially with the up-accents!

    Excellent lesson! I've had a boat-load of lessons on a half dozen string instruments, and this is one of the best I've come across. I was just thinking about the change in rhythmic timing between the downbeat bowing and the upbeat bowing, and there you are explaining it and pointing out what not to do. And oh that sounded so British garden party.
    Gotta say, I really like your off-the-cuff style. That, combined with your precision and detail are wonderful.
    I've been mostly playing Irish and Scots trad with picks and fingers, but you've inspired me to get down my steel string fiddle.

    Heyyyyy that alternating string shuffle string sounds cool and you can work into a lot of tunes to layer in those alternating notes in a more groovy pattern than just the circle bowing for 1/8th note runs I've gotten down.

    Do you keep the bow hair as loose as possible to make double stops easier? Thanks in advance.

  • @jonmezera8417
    @jonmezera8417 2 роки тому +1

    So, what I can tell with the alternating string shuffle bowing pattern being shown is you are basically turning 1/8th notes to (2) 1/16th notes: one melody note and then the alternating string either bowed slurred or separate. Is this correct?

    • @craigjudelman
      @craigjudelman 2 роки тому +1

      exactly! of course once you start playing a tune, you don't actually do this on every single beat, but I think taking a simple melody and adding in the open string below between each note that you can is a great way to get this basic sound into your body and also work on keeping that wrist loose. good luck!
