[B] Hello, I'm Jim Wood and welcome to Beginner Fiddle Volume 1, the series on homespun tapes.
See the shoulder is low,
the neck is straight, the head is slightly going in that direction, and
the fiddle sits on a shelf, kind of like on a collarbone there.
The A major scale is A
on the open A, B with the first finger, C sharp, D,
fourth finger on [F#] the E,
F sharp, C sharp,
A, and then descending.
So we're going to break that down.
I just want you to get the sounds in your head.
So once again, it's like this.
[D]
[B] So the shuffle bow stroke is going to be an eighth note and two sixteenth notes.
We have the down stroke on the eighth,
[A] an up and down on sixteenth,
and then an up on the eighth, and then down and up on the sixteenth.
So in time it'll sound like this.
One E and a two E and a
