This two-hour starter course takes the mystery out of fiddle playing for any new player. Fiddle champion Jim Wood knows just what you need to get started the right way: proper posture and body alignment, how to hold the fiddle and bow, tune up, warm-up exercises, and how to finger your first notes. Before long you'll be playing the A scale and easy versions of "Old Joe Clark," "Cripple Creek" and "Cotton-Eye Joe" using solid bowing, good tone and precise intonation. Jim even shows you how, by learning only a few simple notes, you can join jam sessions almost immediately. Booklet included as PDF file on the disc. 120 min.
