    Huge thanks to Strum Machine for sponsoring this bluegrass fiddle tune lesson on Red Haired Boy. I was really excited to make a big video discussing the history of the tune, basic rhythm, how to play the melody, and some of the most common variations. Please keep Strum Machine in mind for all of your bluegrass backing track needs, its a fabulous product and I use it myself!

    I first heard 'Red Haired Boy' in the early 1970s played by Dan Crary on this LP by the Bluegrass Alliance: th-cam.com/video/37xAo5CXP6g/w-d-xo.html
    Dan's guitar break begins at 22:38.
    This tune, and also his version of 'Beaumont Rag' on the same LP got me listening to these tracks time and again, trying to learn what was being played.
    Another LP entitled 'Bluegrass Guitar' on the American Heritage label in 1970 gave me lots of inspiration - his punchy, fluid and clear playing amaze me to this day. Thanks Dan!

    Hey Marcel, question. Some of your notes sound like they get muted before you move to the next. Is that your way of playing and what should I be looking for in the tabs to understand when that happens?

    • @LessonsWithMarcel
      @LessonsWithMarcel  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Totally! This more has to do with how you hear the phrasing in your head. In this tune we have a lot of moments with two quarter notes of the same pitch. For instance, measure four we have two F notes. I tend to hear the first one as short and the second as long in this melody. I've heard lots of fiddle players phrase it similarly but ultimately most of that interpretation is up to you!

I have a question - I've been slowing down the intro of the video to see what you're doing, when slowed down it sounds like you're putting a bit of a swing on it but at normal speed it isnt as noticeable. are you infact putting a swing on it or is it just my ears playing tricks?
