In the video below, I will teach you the well-known Irish tune, The Earl’s Chair reel on the fiddle. This is a great tune to know for playing in Irish traditional sessions.
In this tutorial I will go through the melody for The Earl’s Chair reel slowly so that you can learn it by ear, as well as show you the whole tune played with a close-up of the fingerboard so that you can work out the fingering.
If you are interested in all the ornamentation and bowing patterns that I use to play this tune, these will all be included in the full video tutorial that will be part of my Complete Irish Fiddle course.
