Thread Name: your basic old time fiddle repetoire
Subject: RE: your basic old time fiddle repetoire
Russ, I would send you a personal message if I could
Do you have an email address you could PM me with?

If I want to learn fiddle tunes on my banjo I have a few questions about how to go about picking out the notes.
I have learned Red Haired Boy but I was shown the notes to pick. Now I want to learn The Flowers of Edinburgh.
I have figured out the chords to The Flowers of Edinburgh but I am struggling with picking out the notes. Is this because I have chosen a more difficult fiddle tune or is it because I am trying to learn it from Mark O'Connor's CD and I should try to find a simplier version of the tune.
I have lots of questions Russ, but I don't want to impose them on this thread.
