Road to Lisdoonvarna - Melody Tutorial & Play-Along for violin

Alyssa teaches you how to play the Irish tune Road to Lisdoonvarna!

Melody at tempo: 0:10
Melody slow speed: 1:33
Play-along: 3:40

Some tips for practicing:
Learn the melody at both the slow and fast tempo. Don't forget you can slow down and speed up the video too!
Play the melody along with the jam track. Can you keep the melody going when Alyssa's part drops out?
Try to play the chords. Experiment with using different rhythms. There are many ways to play Em, A, and Bm chords, but one of the easier ways just uses the 1st and 2nd fingers on the bottom two strings.
Improvise over the jam track. If you're new to improvisation, start by embellishing and altering the melody.
