How to play CAPTAIN CAMPBELL ✨ Traditional Scottish strathspey ✨ Fiddle tutorial

CORRECTION! At 6:36, the color-coded music is incorrect. The notes on the A string at the beginning of the second measure (3 and 1) should be purple! This is what I get for trying to color-code every last thing in my life.

Please note that I’m a folk musician and fiddler, and I don’t consider myself a classical violinist. In my experience of the folk tradition, techniques tend to be somewhat informal, variable, and flexible, so take what I say with a grain of salt :) My thoughts on fiddling are based on my own personal musical experience. If you’re looking for more formal violin technique and instruction, there are other resources out there that are geared towards that!

These videos are not intended as a substitute for the advice of a medical professional (when it comes to any thoughts on techniques such as posture, hand placement, etc).

Happy fiddling, friends!
