Margaret's Waltz (fiddle lesson)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 авг 2024
- Margaret's Waltz is a tune written by Pat Shaw, but now firmly part of the Scottish and American Contradance traditions. In this fiddle lesson I demonstrate, with on-screen sheet music, the basic melody. I also discuss ornamentation and open string drones. A copy of the sheet music is available to subscribers' see my email address below.

I'm a complete beginner, just been playing for about a week. I hope I can play this song as beautifully as you and as it deserves one day!
Glad you enjoyed this!
@@TheFiddleChannel Haha my neighbours aren't enjoying it quite so much...
Appreciate your style of teaching this and the background story, thank you!
Thanks Kathy!
Very, very nice. The version I'm most used to hearing is from Kentucky fiddler J.P. Fraley, who I believe also heard it/learned it from Aly Bain. Back in the late 80's when I was in my early twenties, I accidentally stumbled into the Fraley Festival at Carter Caves, Kentucky and fell in love with old-time music, mostly because of Margaret's. Just a lovely tune!
Hi Jeffrey
glad you enjoyed this!
Nice Waltz! My mother's name was Margaret.
Thanks Dennis!
Thanks from Poland
Hi Michal. Glad you liked it. I went to Zakopane a few years ago and heard some great fiddle music there!
Hi, I so enjoyed your video. I've been playing a very basic version of this song for years, but never heard it this way. Thank you! I would also love a copy of this music, since I'd been playing it by ear up till now.
Hi Georgina. Send me an email to haighchris@hotmail.com.
Another good lesson, thanks.
Thanks Joe!
Beautiful
Thanks Mitch!
Did you ever notice how quick people are to deflect credit for songs written by anyone English? Whether it be Pat Shuldham-Shaw, James Hill, Charles Jefferys & Sidney Nelson, Harry Clifton, Peakfiddler, John Kirkpatrick or William Shakespeare someone wants to put the credit elsewhere. Usually it's John Q. Traditional ----- (you pick the country.)
very true!
I've been trying to find good Scottish fiddlers recently. Do you reccommend anyone?
Aly Bain has a very broad repertoire, and many top quality videos from his TV shows. Bruce MacGregor plays the West Coast style, and is a member of Blazin Fiddles. His style is relaxed and easy to follow. Paul Anderson plays the North East style- very energetic and muscular.
@@TheFiddleChannel Much appreciated. This will give me something to chew on for sure.
my cat HATES me playing the fiddle, she's also giving me dirty looks just playing this on my laptop.........I have to wait till she goes out of the house to practice.
I'm so sorry to hear that. My cat is very supportive of my fiddle practice while the rest of my family is not!
