Elk River Blues // Fiddle Tutorial

This is a great old time tune by West Virginia fiddler Ernie Carpenter. It is one of the tunes I use in my online course "Fiddle Techniques for the Violinist" as a reference for applying certain techniques (for example double stops, hammer-ons, pulses, etc.). This course is designed for novice violinists/fiddlers who may (or may not) have had some experience playing classical music but would like to deepen their understanding and playing of various fiddle music styles. If you want to craft a sound that is unique to you but based in Celtic, Oldtime or Bluegrass traditions then this course is for you. check it out here: www.serenaeades.com/ecourse.
