This is a classic fiddle tune in the key of D that is a lot of fun to play. I built it very basic so beginner players could not only learn a version, but also learn to fill in the melody with 8th notes. Enjoy!

Just want to say the multiple camera angles make all the difference. I could actually see what the right hand was doing.

Count it out loud. Everyone says it and everyone's right.

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

Answered over in the tab thread too, but short version: play what's comfortable, the tab is a map not a law.

Try it without the pick for a few passes. Sounds silly but it told me my right hand was doing too much.

Same here at first. What fixed it for me was practicing that measure by itself for a week, no B part at all.
