Lanigan's Ball (fiddle lesson)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ก.ย. 2024
- Lanigan's ball is an Irish jig, often performed with the original comic words.
In this fiddle lesson I show the basic melody, suggest a little ornamentation, and talk about possible approaches to bowing. The tune is often performed in a rock style, and I demonstrate a few licks which can be used in a rocky fiddle solo. A free pdf of the sheet music is available to subscribers (see below). There are plenty more free video lessons on Irish tunes and Irish fiddle techniques elsewhere on The Fiddle Channel.

Since we are the subject of balls . Can you maybe one day do Big Balls In Cowtown By Bob Wills and Asleep At The Wheel ?
YES Please!
Yes, that's a good one!
Lovely piece. I will play it as a aet with Swallowtail Jig and Road to Lisdoonvarna. Thanks, Chris!!!
I love Chris' videos and as a subscriber a lot of fun stuff from him appears on my youtube wall. Keep rocking, Cris.
Can you do a video on brasse donc la couche couche by Steve Riley and the manly play boys? It’s a beautiful song in Cajun French and the fiddle part is great!
I'll take a look at it!
Great tune, must try the rock version next time in a trad session! 😊
They'll kick you out!
The rock version is awesome. Which other tunes lend themselves to a rock conversion? I like O'Keefe's slide at the end of Black Friday Rule, Flogging Molly.
@@CMonsteronutube The things to look for are minor key, where the other main chord is one step down (eg Am-G, or Em-D).
I have a request! The Fireman by George Strait!
Sounds like a good one! I'll put it on the list.
Can you please send the notation
Yes, send me an email to haighchris@hotmail.com
Sir notations
