Rex, agreed -- I find if I can whistle a tune all the way through, I can learn it faster on the fiddle and move it to other instruments without too much trouble. Stringsinger, I feel like we're in a similar boat with the fiddle, so here are some of my favorite easy tunes: The Eagle's Whistle (http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/4192) The Earl's Chair (http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/221) Rolling Waves (http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/88) And, for fun with tone, Mo Ghile Mear (http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/1612) I have recordings of "The Earl's Chair" and "Rolling Waves" that are good to learn from, if you like. Cheers, Megan
