Cripple Creek // Easy Fiddle Tutorial

👍

Just an amazing tune!!! I love how you play the violin....you are the Next Hilary Hahn!!
Thank you for this tutorial

Sounds great!

Thanks as always. I had learned this one a while back, but I've never tried adding in the double stop shuffle intro nor the Shave and a Haircut ending. Looks like I'll work on this some more to add in things like that. Right now I'm working on Sweet Betsy from Pike, What Shall We Do with A drunken Sailor, Johnny Has Gone for a Soldier, Old Joe Clark, and Happy Birthday. I guess I'm a glutton for punishment. I have a lesson today and we'll work on Sweet Betsy and Johnny Has Gone, but for some reason I always like to add more to my work, thus the others that I mentioned. Heck I even went back and worked on Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Boil Them Cabbage Down a little bit this week. I think I need to work on my attention span. Thanks again as always. I really appreciate the info I gain form The Tune Project.

Hello Lauren! That's another great fiddle tune i also played at nursing homes. You could be as good as Alison Krauss, Mark O'Connor or Sara Watkins. Great Big Hug!!!

I learned this one but I like your simplified version with the double stops a lot better. Thank you so much!!

This is a perfect tutorial for beginners and me just wanting to learn more new fiddle tunes. Thank you, and you are amazing!

Here for the first time. Noticed the septum piercing, usually a sign of communism. Bye.

Brava Laura.

Thanks for the soft start with open string double stops. Those double stops up the neck are brutal when you're starting out!

I am a 67 year old beginner and I find your videos the easiest to learn from. Thanks.

Love this so much, thank you!

Fantastic. Thank you for doing these.

Sooo this isn’t the song by The Band… haha still love it, thanks for the new tune!

Would it be possible to have the tabs written in here?? I’m trying so hard to write them out as you play and keep rewinding and 🤣🤣🤣I guess that’s how my brain is trying to do it 😅

Could you include in your video the music? You have a version of Cripple Creek that I can't find

Yeh but I'm just a Banjer pickkin er 👍✍️

Good morning, I’m contacting you from the south-east of England a little place called Rye. in East Sussex. I’ve been playing violin now for about five years and I am 75 years of age, I have watched many videos with Violin tutorials but yours is the easiest I have seen, it’s the calmness and delicate way you put your lesson across. Thank you very much indeed, I don’t think I’m going to play in the Hollywood bowl but I’m loving every second of it. Kind regards from England. X.

Hi Craig here not Kathy well thank you, simple but first time trying to play anything and it’s going well thanks so much I will surprise my musician friend who plays this on Banjo next time I see him .

Thanks for putting this one up. Really enjoyed learning it!

Why does learning this song make me want to dance around the house playing it over and over? Is that what happens to you too?

This was such a helpful tutorial video! I have never played a fiddle in my life, but I was able to pick up the first part. If I keep watching this over and over and mastering each step, I should have the song down! You are an incredible teacher, Lauren!

My bad… I was thinking “Up on Cripple Creek” by The Band. 😂
