The Cut (Irish fiddle ornament)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ก.ย. 2024
- The cut is one of the simplest and most useful fiddle ornaments, common in Irish, English and Scottish fiddling. In this fiddle lesson I demonstrate the single cut and double cut, with exercises, and using the jig Morrisons to demonstrate. I use on-screen sheet music, and a pdf copy is available free to subscribers I(see below).

This is great, Chris, I learned a lot about the cut.. Thank you very much😊
Good video, I like the exercise of using the scale to practise the cuts. A good warm-up exercise
Thanks Jane!
I always enjoy both your explanations and you playing. The only Irish tune I play is Swallowtail, and in that I think cuts are usable.
Yes, I think you can find a place for cuts in most Irish tunes.
Thank you for the clear elaboration!

Chris, I'm a little confused by this. I've always understood a "cut" to be just a grace note (or two) to punctuate the phrase (or maybe in place of a bow direction change).
I had heard that the "double cut" is what some Irish fiddlers do (eg Sean Smyth) and it seems to be a bit more involved (more like a quadruple cut, in terms of notes).
His CD "The Blue Fiddle" has lots of examples, but I don't have the CD to hand. Do you know what I'm talking about?
Good video and explanation, btw.
Gee Jim that was 6 months ago. Did you find out anything??
@@gwendolynkaren5933 In a word : no. Sorry 🙂
@@jimdorans4527 I have googled all kinds of stuff. And there's no discussion distinguishing it
