On the other side of Quebec City, you have the region called Charlevoix.
It's a nice little town.
One of the famous reels I have learned that tune in my first _ _ _ week of playing the fiddle. _
All the fiddlers around me were playing that tune. _
Really, really fun.
Really great bowing as well.
We are in the key of D.
Another tune good for the bottom box.
A little squeeze box home, which is really popular.
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
Again, it's not a tune that we should play [Abm] fast.
Really good speed.
Enough to swing it.
Be able to just have the time to do the notes.
And remark that you are not playing alone and there are musicians around.
This is a tune when you need to relax a jam session.
If you can, for sure, you will play this tune at home.
Which is a tune that few fiddlers know now.
Because the repertoire is getting lost.
Because the new repertoire is arriving.
[D] It's normal.
It's part of it.
But this tune is a great one.
When I want to tap the feet and be relaxed more on the bowing.
_ Just play that tune.
It's a really powerful tune as well.
_ Let's go through the first part now. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Again, we are in the D key.
And again, we need the arpeggio of D.
_ _ _ _ _ Starting like that.
Open D.
_ Arpeggio, F sharp.
D, F sharp.
Second finger on D string.
Open A.
Third finger on the A string.
And first finger [G] on the E string.
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [E] It starts like that.
Not complicated.
If you need _ _ good _ tips for that, just work your arpeggios. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I suggest to people to work the arpeggios really fast.
And not only slowly. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
When you do it at this speed, it's great for the tone.
But you need to speed up.
Especially when we start like I love them at B. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Really quick, we are right there into the material we need. _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ Excellent!
Here [B] we are to the [D] advance for the tune La Galope de la Malbaie.
Great tune.
Great fun.
_ Let's go through the first part now. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
I will play double stops, [B] but not as much. _ _
_ It's a nice little melody.
Arpeggios are really_
When you start a tune, you need to know your D [D] arpeggio.
_ _ _ And I do a little stop there at the beginning. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I finish in pushing the bow. _ _ _
_ _ Slurring the note before. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ That's a little detail which makes the tune lighter.
