Irish fiddle - Polka - 'Riding on a Bale of Hay' (intermediate tutorial)

In this Irish fiddle tutorial, I'll teach you a polka - Riding on a Bale of Hay!
Check learntoplaythefiddle.co.uk for more tutorials, including my Free Irish Fiddle course.
This is a really fun polka to learn. It's probably not a beginner's tune, as it has a couple of slightly tricky phrases, and one note (D sharp) that doesn't crop up in a lot of fiddle tunes, so it's an intermediate tutorial. Don't let that put you off though - it's an excellent Irish fiddle tune.
Plus, as with any slightly trickier tune, there are some really useful bits of fiddle technique that you can practice here.
I'll take you through the whole polka phrase by phrase so you can learn the tune on the fiddle. Then we can talk about more advanced elements that you can add in.
I hope you enjoy this intermediate Irish fiddle tutorial. Please subscribe for more lessons like this.
