Hi folks, I'm Ian Walsh with OnlineLessonVideos.com, also on Facebook at Online Lesson Videos.
Today we're working on a tune in the key of G.
It's a great one for the fiddle.
We're going to do it in a western swing style.
_ It's a tune called Back Home Again in Indiana.
In this lesson I'm going to show you a basic breakdown of the melody, and then I'm going to show you the double stops,
and I'm also going to show you a nice little tricky _ triplet run-up pattern that I use in this video sample you're about to see.
I hope you enjoy it, and I hope you enjoy this lesson. _ _

_ [Em] _ _ [Em] _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Okay, so review your G scale if you haven't done so already.
I'm sure most of you are familiar with the G scale anyway, but here's how we start the tune.
I'm going to count us in, and it's going to go 1, 2, 3.
_ _ _ [C#] So a very [G] common line-up of notes here.
Just the open D. _
Then we have our G, then we have a B, and then we have a D, which is our downbeat.
So again, if I count us in, it sounds like this.
1, 2, 3.
If _ _ you're tapping your foot along, which I like to do, you can go 1, 2, 3.
_ _ [D] _
Your foot should tap down right as you hit that D right there.
It's a nice long D.
The notes we have coming after that are an E.
I'm using my fourth finger in this setting.
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ Okay, getting us down to this E down on our D string.
So we play E, D, B, A, E.
[D] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [E] _
_ [D] _ _ [Em] _ _ Okay, so if we put that all together, it sounds like this.
1, 2, 3.
[G] _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ [Em] _ _ _ Now, _
_ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
that's a very kind of straight way to play, especially the end there. _ _ _
You can change the timing just a little bit to add a bit of swing into this tune.
And it would sound like this.
1, 2, [G] 3. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
So you just go over to that E just a hair faster than you normally do.
One other thing I'm doing pretty much every time is putting a little trill
or kind of a rolly note.
It's not an Irish roll, but it's more of a trilled B right here.
And I [G] play it like this. _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [Em] You play it slow, it loses a bit of its effect.
It's when you speed it up that you hear it better.
[D] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ Let's cycle through it two more times.
1, 2, [G] 3. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ [C#] And 1, [G] 2, 3.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ All right, let's go into our next segment here, and we're going to keep going with the tune. _ _ _ _ _ _
