This is a beautiful old fiddle tune, and a good story to back it up with. Damn Gubbment took the family home away from them. Thank you for this Dakota.
Really, really nice lesson, and a beautiful haunting tune! Very easy for me to follow on mandolin, and much quicker to learn than I thought it would be. Thank you so very much!!
Thank you for presenting Elk River Blues so wonderfully - so much soul in the history of this tune it is easily released. Thank you too for teaching it so methodically your style of instruction really resonates. Blessings.
Once I learn this I want to make it longer a loop so to speak because I never want this song to end ! Maybe loop it to 5\7 minutes then record myself and put some piano as well mixed in?great song! Great lesson! Thx
This is a good video for intermediate players, but as a beginner, I would like to learn the basic melody first. Then, after I get that down, add the slurs and double stops. I realize the tune sounds much, much better with the more advanced techniques, but for us newbies, sometimes it's just too hard to incorporate those techniques when we're learning. Such a beautiful tune - I'll keep at it - the best I can, but I wish I could have heard it stripped down first! It would be much more helpful to learn that way...
Makes me wanna get a fiddle. This song seriously touches my soul.
