Lonesome Moonlight Waltz (fiddle lesson)

Lonesome Moonlight Waltz is a bluegrass waltz written by Bill Monroe. In this fiddle lesson I show the basic melody, with on-screen sheet music, then add grace notes and double stops. I demonstrate an improvised solo, and a twin fiddle part

It's February and I felt like something a little mournful and bluesy. This was perfect 😊.
Plus you can practice your double stops. 😅

Excellent choice of tune Chris. I play it slightly different as you suggest at 02:12. Nevertheless, thank you for the very helpful advice.
Well done on writing the BG and twin fiddles part. Way beyond my pay grade I'm afraid..!! ☹️
