Traditional Fiddle Tunes For Flatpicking Guitar

[min7b5]

Finally got enough coffee and time without kids in the house to put together a new page with all my arrangements of my favorite traditional fiddle tunes. http://ericskye.com/fiddle-tunes/ There’s almost fifty of them, a few vids, pics, and extensive performance tips if you scroll down. I hope you enjoy it, and share it with your friends. Because the world needs more people picking tunes together. e

Glad to see "Miss McLeod's Reel". A giant of a tune that is somewhat ignored these days. I'm finally getting around to learning it on mandolin, just a blast to play. May pair it up with "Waiting For The Federals" in a little medley.

Do you think these would be good songs for my kids to learn they are six and eight and reading music. They probably would not be playing anything beyond just the melodic voice single notes

Yes, for sure

You're my hero Eric!

Wow! This is great! You've done some work on this. I'll bookmark it, and most likely keep coming back to this.

I live in the U.K., but I've become really interested in bluegrass/flatpicking, so much so I'm aiming for a flatpicking road trip in the US. Bluegrass is new and quite frankly exciting ground.

Things like this is such an inspiration, thanks!

Very nice of you to share this, Eric!

And I love the videos, wonderful playing!

Sure hope to see you on the right coast someday

For sure. I played a show at a small place in Seymour, Connecticut, and then an in-store at AcousticMusic.Org exactly two years ago. Had such a great time. I'm hoping to repeat that in Spring
