Stan Chapman’s Jig
Stan Chapman's Jig is a great Irish tune composed by Cape Breton fiddler Jerry Holland. Each section of this two-part tune is repeated, but watch out for the for the repeat of the second part...it's played differently than the first time through. This is a good tune to tackle if you're a beginner to intermediate-level player. Kevin Burke walks us through his version of the tune in this lesson...Check out the tutorial videos below!
