I was told my Grandfather played the fiddle. He was born in Scotland in 1853 and came to the United States in 1883. It appears he was also a singer, dancer, fiddle player, boilermaker, etc. Are you able to tell me what songs he may have played on his fiddle between the above mentioned years using his personal info I just wrote about? Any suggestions would be appreciated by all of my family members...Thank you in advance.
You bet, Brent. That's an original composition by Hanneke Cassel called "The Glass Case of Emotion". You can see that performance and her lesson here: www.fiddlevideo.com/glass-case-1/. Take care!
Yes Sir, You are right. I would add it had an influence on American music in general. If you place these rhythms and compound them with 4/4 or certain tempo in relevance, you can hear that & of 2 bit that is in everything from contra dance to surf music. Then brought back around as the Mersey beat. Sure that feel I’m sure exists and existed in similar forms else where, but I honestly feel the over all influence of that region is sometimes over looked. All best JP
This is what I’ve been searching for! Been classically trained and trying to transition. Thanks!!
Thank you Hanneke. I think your teaching style suits my learning style.
Very good and well presented information. Nice Taylor guitar too. 😉

So lovely. Do I need to tune or set up my fidel to play Scottish music?
Really good teaching technique thanks, well done. I've been watching Fiddlehed who has a similar style. Take care. And thanks again.
This syncopation effectively turns two measures of four into mixed meter with two measures of 3/4 followed by one measure of 2/4
I'm loven your outro music

This is amazing !
i like to think the first grove as (6/8 + 2/8)
Thank you!!!!!!!!!
Dear Hanneke try thinking Tah Ta Tee, Tag Ta tee for the jig in 6/8 instead of counting numbers in your head, and check out my book Finbar's Harp
...or the viōla player
Much appreciated, thanks!
Thanks. Who knew.😊
that is suppose to be Tah ta tee, Tah ta tee, but the spell correct changed it to tag for Tat
Now Is it a grove for Scottish music or Bluegrass ? Sounds American to me.
Where do you think American fiddling comes from, but the British isles?
You find these accents also in eastern folk and in new tango. Perhaps nearly everywhere.

Again the spell check is witchy, it is Tah Ta Tee, Tah ta Tee
