I've got two breaks for classic fiddle tune in D. The first is a basic, low break that sticks really close to the melody. The second takes the melody up an octave adding triplets and up-the-neck tricks! I have the banjo and mandolin soloed at full speed in case you wanna play a duet with me!

    Got about 80% of this one down but the third measure keeps tripping me. Anybody else find that part awkward at speed?

    The pinky thing goes away, I promise. Took me about three months.

    Not just you. I still count this one out loud and I've been at it four years.

    Recording yourself is humbling but it's the fastest fix I've found.

    Glad it clicked! That timing is the whole point of this lesson, so if that landed you got what you came for.
