Here you can find a selection of my free fiddle lessons for intermediate players (or improving players). In each video I’ll take you through a tune at a slower tempo so that you can learn the melody. You can use the ‘playback speed’ button to slow the video down even more to help you learn the tune.
For more advanced players, I will play the whole tune through at a moderate tempo so that you can try to work it out for yourself.
