Swallowtail Jig - Basic Fiddle Lesson
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- Here's a step-by-step lesson on Swallowtail Jig. First I'll play a mid-tempo version of the whole thing. Then we'll slowly learn it, note by note, building notes into phrases, building phrases into quarters, until we have each part.
I made some “Learning Chunks” on the FiddleHed site to help you do this. These focused exercises contain sheet music, tabs and mp3 snippets to guide you on each step of your fiddle journey.
These and all new lesson pages can be viewed for one week after publication with a FREE trial membership. Check it out here: fiddlehed.com
And after you sign up, I’ll also send you a mini-course of lessons specially designed for your skill level.
Alrighty. Play every day, have fun 😀 and thanks for making music 🙏
Now, go fiddle with it...

I am amazed at how easy you made it for learning this tune. I like your teaching style-very calm and deliberate with emphasis on tone and time. Thank you for the instruction.
haha this dudes demeanor makes me wanna just relax the shit outta my day on purpose...awesome series of lessons you rule dude
Excellent tutorial for beginners, thanks Jason, a great tune.
I can play right along with you! ...when I slow the playback speed to 75% :-)
I love you fiddlehed man
This is GREAT!!! I’ve heard this tune my WHOLE LIFE but never knew the name of it...I’ve played it on the piano several thousand times at gigs...but this time, while watching your video, I have my classical guitar in hand (‘cause it’s late and the other 5 Family members are all sound asleep) AND, it’s fingertip-friendly, so unbeknownst to you, you just taught a guitar lesson!!! I know, I know, you should probably be paid for that, but for the time being, my heart-felt gratitude will have to suffice. Thank You Sensei‼️🎼🎸🎊🎻🎹🏆👌‼️
Just picked up my violin 🎻 after 30 years and have picked this as the first new tune to learn 😀. So far so good

Jack Gilbert Great notes!
@@fiddl3hed I love this video. I just picked the fiddle up a few weeks ago. I am going through a udemy course on fiddle, but when I am done "practicing" I come here to "play". Do you offer online tutoring?
After I learned the notes for both parts, I realized I was playing each as quater notes. How do i go from simply knowing the quarter notes to playing it in the timing that you do so that it has that Irish 6/8 sound? (This is my first song on the fiddle).
Jack Gilbert Play triplets on open strings every day. Start with easier tunes too! Make those sound good before trying Swallowtail.
Thank you so much for your generosity in teaching this. Got it down (the tune anyway, not the finesse!), and am gonna play it for my wife when she comes home. She got the fiddle for me last Christmas (I'd never touched one before, but already play mandolin, banjo, guitar). So fun, love your videos, and super grateful for you have shared so much of yourself on here!
Just starting to try this tune. Your method of teaching is very comprehensive. Thanks so much!
Jeff Cooper Let is know how it goes!
Shouldn’t you be scouting the frontier?
SO GOOD!
thank you so much for helping me play this AWESOMENESS
You're the best Teacher Jason!
Great video very professional audio and video are very clean and clear . with no unnecessary ramblings or showing off so common in other tutorial s
Keep up the great work
Thanks
THUMPER

Wow Fiddlehed guy, that guide is awesome! Thanks for that, I've bookmarked it and will be going through it. You're the best!
Picked up the fiddle today for the first time in decades and my hand and wrist are not loving it haha. Little bits a day. Thanks for the tutorial.
As an older gentleman and not long been learning viola I’m learning the first bit ok but I realised it’s going to take me some time , maybe a lot before I can play this one lol , I really want to learn it but crawling then walking before running is a process and takes time , that’s me haha , awesome video mate , great job 👍 liked and subscribed.
Following your instructions has helped me a lot. I had some questions but couldn't access your contact email on your website to ask about lessons at my adult beginner/intermediate level. Always wanted to learn Swallowtail jig. It's working...........Ray
Hi Jason hello from across the pond in the UK ..yes this was definately helpful, clear instruction and great to learn by. I must add though, that part of the attraction to your videos is to play the game - what parcel will there be on the floor over your left shoulder :) I guess it depends on the season, maybe Christmas presents in December?? Thanks for the fun parts too, makes it more interesting
You're welcome. :)
I love this video!!!!
Heather Duggan Thank you! We’re glad you like it!
Thank You!
Gotta crawl before ya walk , especially learning the Fiddle.
michael preston Take it one step at a time.
@@fiddl3hed I'm trying,I like Feddlehed's tutorial better though.
Thanks
You're welcome!
Edorian- what a delightful thing to learn. Wow! It sounds like you are not accenting 2nd and fourth notes? Isn't Irish music supposed to be rather opposite of our English and Western tunes, whereas we accent the first and third notes? Just asking.
Hi Jason!! I love your method of building the parts!!! Your video is sooooo helpful!
Question: it seems to me I am hearing a lovely vibrato when you play, however I am not seeing any movement in your fretting fingers.
How do you do that?
Thank you. Allan
did you add that fret note thing recently? could have sworn they weren't there two or three weeks ago when i first watched the intro? i might also say that they are a little confusing as they jump all over... i know what you are hitting but maybe another way? so far your video has been the most helpful learning this tune... i think i like the sound of it slow just as much as the fast paced version :^)
I have tried yo follow you with Swallow jig but cannot complete the notes care to share with me.
Know i know about slowing it down almost got it yeeahh thanks a million
Slowing it down can be enjoyable too.
@@fiddl3hed sure is good teacher my friend hard work prevails scales all the way and nice and slow thanks again from bonnie Scotland
Remember and pause lol
Cheers
A part: 9:40
hi, In your video you say there are tabs below. But I dont see any?
thanks for the videos, I had to quit violin lessons to save money so you are my salvation!
see where the description is? slightly below that click "SHOW MORE" :)
Hello Payne, the tabs will be viewable under the video title on the initial video page. Please let us know if you are still having trouble finding it.
I also don’t see the tabs? So confused.
I like breaking down the individual parts, but I need help with the phrasing of it on the faster speed it is usually played on, where is the rhythm I can't find it.
How can I donate
Do u have the tablature please
but im having some problems speeding up the parts, especially D C# D A G F#, every time i play those notes i cant help but hear the jurassic park theme, its the open A that especially throws me, and then i lose my irish feeling. please help
Remember to spare no expense on emphasizing the major notes!
@@carpediem8047 what a fool i was, ive come so far
@@jackoscar11 have u kept playing all this time?!
@@carpediem8047 yep now im learning Khachaturian - Adagio from Spartacus
It sounds like an Irish reel.
It’s a jig 6/8 time
@@12stringsolo Thank you.
