Hi, Charity,

It looks as though you're pretty new around here. Welcome to the community.

You'll get lots of good advice but let me start out by saying that to play fiddle you need to listen, listen, listen and then listen. Try to immerse yourself in fiddle music. Hang out with fiddle players, put fiddle tunes in your MP3 player, buy fiddle music and listen. Take fiddle music with you everywhere you go. Fairly shortly you'll start to recognize tunes even when played in a different way than you're used to hearning. You'll also start to get a feeling for which tunes are presently within your grasp and which tunes demand more skills. Always try to hang out with people who play better than you do.

As you've discovered, there is a lot of fiddle music available on the Net but be aware that some of it is probably wrong. Either mistakes have been made in transcription or it's a personal arrangement of someone's. You should familiarize yourself with the literature of the fiddle in the genres and regions that interest you. Once you've done that, finding good tunes to learn will be much easier.
