Description
A Irish slipjig fiddle tutorial for the tune, Farewell to Whalley Range.
This intermediate level tutorial is 15 minutes long and will teach the whole tune slowly by ear. If you are new to learning tunes by ear, you might want to try some of my beginner tune tutorials first, like Out on the Ocean, or The Britches Full of Stitches.
This is a great slipjig written by the flute player Mike McGoldrick. It's fun to play, but takes a bit of wrapping your head around the tune! It's become a popular tune in lots of sessions that I play in.
In this fiddle tutorial, I break the tune down in to parts, so that you learn the melody. I'll show you some of the left hand finger shapes close up so that you can learn the best way to play this tune. The I'll show you some of the ornamentation that I use to liven this tune up.
