Hi, Ausin. I’ve added that tune to the running request list…too many tunes and not enough time! But perhaps one of our instructors will record a lesson on this one in the future, sir. Cheers!

Hi, Amanda. Apologies for missing this comment…just now seeing it. If it’s the tune that plays at the majority of the lessons, it is an original composition by Hanneke Cassel titled “The Glass Case of Emotion”.

You can learn the tune here: The Glass Case of Emotion

If it’s a tune at the end of one of Andre’s or Niall’s lessons, those are…[Read more]

Good call, Jane. If we can’t get Natalie to join, perhaps it would fall into Hanneke’s wheelhouse…I’ll add it to the running request list.

I’ll add it to Megan’s list, Austin…she may know it/choose to teach it.

Amen, Martin.

Hi, Ray. This one was definitely on her request list…we even prepped a recording file for it, but it didn’t make the first sessions.

We’ll keep it on the list, and I would imagine she’ll record it when she is able to make it back out to the studios.

Good suggestions, Martin and Jackson…they are added to the running request list for future sessions.

Patti will definitely record Red River Blues the next time she’s in the studio. Megan did record a tune called Blue Ridge Cabin Home, but perhaps that’s a different tune than Blue Ridge Mountain Home?? If we ever add a classical instructor,…[Read more]

Hi, Linday.

We don’t have the chords charted out for each tune separate from the sheet music, but it should be a fairly easy task to create a chart for your guitar players based on the sheet music. The way I generally chart tunes is to list four chords on each line before starting a new line. Generally you will find 16 measures in each part,…[Read more]

Hi, Kryssa.

Good question. Kevin talks about his approach to cuts/bowed triplets in this lesson:
Bowed Triplets

And Hanneke talks about her approach to cuts here:
Scottish Grace Notes – The Cut

Hope that helps!

Welcome to the site, Kryssa!

Sounds like you’re well on your way to moving into the world of fiddle. Classical will provide you a great foundation from which to switch to fiddling.

You can learn about hokum bowing in these lessons:
Basic Hokum Bowing
Advanced Hokum Bowing

Haneke talks about wiggles here:The Wiggle

See my response to your…[Read more]

Nice, Maclaura.

So much energy in this video! I’ll add it to Hanneke’s request list…she may teach it!

Hi, Badreyyah. Here is Morrison’s Jig

Cheers!

Hi, Sunbreaker…glad you found it. Yeah, he calls it by another name.

For anyone else searching, the lesson is here: The Wonder Hornpipe/The Thames Hornpipe

Good call, Milton. That’s one that came up in conversation last session. I’ll mention it to Megan in her next session!

You’re the second to request this tune, Kirby…It’s on the list, and hopefully Kevin will choose to record it during his next session!

Hi, Lakesider and Asher. I’ve added these suggestions to Kevin’s running request list. We don’t have a new session on the books right now, but when he makes it back to the studio, he’ll take a look at all of the requests and may choose to teach some. All the best!

Hello, Reinhard.

Thanks for the feedback. While a dedicated Klezmer teacher isn’t in the plans, Kevin Burke is in the process of reviewing a Klezmer tune he taught called “Izekel”. That should be published soon. I’m with you on the gypsy jazz stuff…but I struggle to figure out how to fit that into the tune-based format of this website…at…[Read more]

Hi again, Christie. I emailed you…all the best!

Hi, Christie.

We pivoted towards some of the newer recording sessions, but you are correct – there are still a couple from this old session which haven’t been produced…I’ll bump Stack of Barley in the production team’s queue…stay tuned!
