That Mi’kmaq tune is by Lee Cremo, called “Constitution Breakdown.” Cremo had lots of influence on some of the great Cape Breton fiddlers, like Ashley MacIsaac.
I love you! you inspire me! I only started to play the violin in April but I'm playing a concertino now but my goal is when I play well enough I will start to play the fiddle.
My first fiddle tune heard live came from a street fiddler in Vancouver, circa 1970. I had just hitch hiked in from Winnipeg (by way of Fargo). The tune, I later learned, was "The Red Haired Boy". I went home to Oregon and cranked it out on my mandolin. Thanks for this wonderful potpourri of world fiddle. Especially the MiqMak(sp?). Eastern Canadian fiddle is the most uplifting I've ever heard. There's only one mood: up!
These two videos you made here are an amazing piece of research and a nice trip around the world. Great technique too. By the way possible idea for a next one... what about a little tuto about the bow hand and wrist (loose, active...?) for fiddlers who hope to approach one day that crunchy & regular sound? :) Congrats to u anyway!
So well done! I love this video also. My favorites Algerian and Finnish, so unique , a lovely new surprise for me. Welsh, Italian, Greek and Romenian i liked so much too.
The Contra had me clapping along. The foot tapping is excellent, and I'd like that to be included with all the bowings in a book and video play along. Slow then Faster. Thanks. Might help me get my Bowing back in order after 7 years of Hard construction work and a few injuries. Cheers from Glasgow, KY.
Left out some of the more underrated Asian fiddle/violin style, that is the Banyuwangi/Osing violin and also the Melayu violin. Btw I love the fiddle so much because it literally is the instrument that is found almost everywhere in the world and the abundance of ethnic groups and tribes having their own style or way to play the fiddle 🎶
Genius, genius, genius! How do you keep them all in your head and play them all so perfectly. If you did 10 it would be amazing. You must be in great demand! The German made me smile - could almost see the jackboots. What age did you start?
Impressive playing & demonstration, Michael. Especially to be able to move so seemlessly from one to another ... and apparently without any notation in front of you. Did you record all the accompaniment?
@MICHAELBURNYEAT first of course congratulate you for this amazing and super inspiring work. It is mind blowing. I believe I am not the only one having this question burning insied: how on earth did you do this? Can you please try to make a video or at least here explain how the process of making this was. How did you learn the music, where you find it, how long it took to prepare, how did you make the backtracks, how many takes you needed. It would be awesome to have some insight! Also be sure that if you can offer the sheet music, many here will gladly pay or it. Thanks so much!
glad you enjoyed! it definitely took some work- selecting the tunes from researching the genres, learning them by ear mostly, practicing them all together, recording the video, creating the backtracks from scratch using the audio from the video. It took about a day to record and another day to edit.
OMG! Where to start. OK how about spectacular! Argentine Tango...(There is a dandy version and video by Nicolla Benedetti... tune was used in "The Scent of a Woman); Algerian and Turkish...Dark and foreboding...very dramatic.; Mik Maq..."the Constitution Breakdown" by a treasure of Cape Breton...Lee Cremo.;Midwest...tune often played by Don Messer a Maritimer.; Peru..."Il Condor Passa (?) great; and FFS Eleanor Rugby! Astounding! Maybe Les Iles de Madelene or / and "Le Reel de Purdue" ti Jean Carignan. Thanks ever so much.
Impressive! But let me recomend including in your next video these styles. Cajun, Huasteco, Creole, San Juanito, Huapango, Cumbia, Corrido, Malambo Norteño.
thanks for the suggestions! cajun i had put in my previous 30 styles video: ruclips.net/video/aNVVsrF5O-M/видео.html but the other styles i will definitely try for the next video (incoming next world fiddle day)
Super AWESOME job!!! You make it seem so effortless but I know how difficult the paradigm shift is. Would love to learn the Danish tune.....any info on where to obtain a copy of the sheet music?
Thanks! A lot of these i learned by ear, listening to recordings of them that I searched up. If you check the description in the video for the names of all the tunes that would be the place to start for learning some. Good luck!
Thanks Michael. What are your origins? Scots, Irish, English, French.............Huron? I am struggling with the violin at an old age. I truly marvel at your skills. Is it your main occupation?
My roots are Scots and English mostly. Yes, i'm currently full time in music as a performer and instructor! Best of luck in your endeavours on the violin!
Nice! Just a correction: Macedonian is also Greek, as Macedonia is the largest and second-most populous Greek region. It seems you confuse "Macedonia" with "North Macedonia", which is a modern Slavic-Albanian country, situated immediately north of Macedonia. Please correct. :)

Such versatility most fiddle players stick to one genre of music
What can’t you play to perfection.? Fantastic!
That Mi’kmaq tune is by Lee Cremo, called “Constitution Breakdown.” Cremo had lots of influence on some of the great Cape Breton fiddlers, like Ashley MacIsaac.
I love you! you inspire me! I only started to play the violin in April but I'm playing a concertino now but my goal is when I play well enough I will start to play the fiddle.
It's so fascinating and fun to see the different ways so many cultures and times and places have used one instrument to evoke such different moods!
Incredible! This would be a fun group jam theme. 30 tunes from different styles. Love how you have the bowings all in there as well.
That was absolutely wonderful!
Again… jaw dropping… Amazing styles and technique 👍👍👏👏👏

So impressive Michael. Amazing. I know how much work went into this...Good on you....congratulations Michael.

Congrats to u anyway!
thanks! definitely will consider doing a right hand tutorial at some point.
So well done! I love this video also. My favorites Algerian and Finnish, so unique , a lovely new surprise for me. Welsh, Italian, Greek and Romenian i liked so much too.

Thank you! You are sooo talented, and this is very entertaining!
Glen Miller/Peruvian is like my Spotify suggestions lol Fantastic as always. Thank you Michael.
Yay you finished with ragtime 🎉❤
Fabulous stuff mate
Love your clear playing style and intonation
Very entertaining
Thanks mate
Brilliant!
First class musicianship..!! Well done Michael. ;-)
Encore une belle collection de styles, merveilleusement jouée. Bravo
Another fine collection of styles, wonderfully played. Bravo
17:22 The Chinese finding style reminds me of that one girl in the move “Abominable”.
Amazing! As a beginning fiddler these are both gold

Fantastic!!!
Hey - you should try the Swiss style ! In Appenzell Innerrhoden fiddles are part of traditional folk bands 🇨🇭
You are so great.
FABULOUS! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
thank you for your work!
Amazing yet again
Genius, genius, genius! How do you keep them all in your head and play them all so perfectly. If you did 10 it would be amazing. You must be in great demand! The German made me smile - could almost see the jackboots. What age did you start?
thanks, glad you enjoyed! i began violin at age 9.
Amazing skills 👏
Love this!!❤
Amazing work! I believe you have not done the Ottawa valley style yet if I remember correctly. Might be an excuse for another video lol
cool, yeah the closest I've done to that is Canadian Old-Time, but I definitely agree the Ottawa valley style deserves its own entry!
Wow. 60 different styles. You doing one next year? If so would love to hear some Northumbrian tunes.
the plan is to do one next year for world fiddle day! And I can definitely add Northumbrian to the list!
Would you try Polish Highlander folk music? I'm from that region and I've alweys loved it!
cool, i can certainly add that style to the list for the next video of this sort!
Gettin some again I see...thx for the vid
Impressive playing & demonstration, Michael. Especially to be able to move so seemlessly from one to another ... and apparently without any notation in front of you. Did you record all the accompaniment?
thank you! yes, i recorded the accompaniment parts too.

Don't forget Manx & Ozark fiddling

@@MICHAELBURNYEAT great! I would love to see that. Oh I think also Taksim is missing.
Wow man ur amazing!
Super AWESOME job!!! You make it seem so effortless but I know how difficult the paradigm shift is. Would love to learn the Danish tune.....any info on where to obtain a copy of the sheet music?
thanks! the danish tune I learned by ear, so i'm not sure where to find sheet music unfortunately.
@@MICHAELBURNYEAT thank you so much regarding the music...guess I'll have my work cut out for me learning it (and plenty of aspirin....or whisky!!)
Where can I go to learn all of these as you did? I'm so inspired by what you're doing and seriously asking. Thanks so much!
Thanks! A lot of these i learned by ear, listening to recordings of them that I searched up. If you check the description in the video for the names of all the tunes that would be the place to start for learning some. Good luck!
@@MICHAELBURNYEAT Thanks so much for your quick response and great advice. Will do!
Incredible. Where are you from?
thanks! i'm based in Vancouver, BC.
Carnatic!

Try the Swiss style - fiddles are one of the signature instruments in folk band in Appenzell Innerrhoden 🇨🇭
Some of these are not genuine fiddle styles. Some are transposed from other instruments
What the heck is Mi'Kmac?
