Use the online resources that are all over the place-- MIDI fiddle tunes-- and software that lets you slow them down. MIDI Notate has a practice screen where you can set the number of repeats and the speed you want to start and end at-- yes, really-- and we used these one night with some intermediate players and had a RIOT. We played along at 80% of usual speed for about 5 go-throughs, then we just kept.... PLAYING, sailing along really, on our own. More details tomorrow if these resources are total unknowns... We're using Ed Hetzler's site and Barry Taylor's Tunebook (and other tunes) at the Contemplator site-- we are working on a list from these, to work on together. We'll do them as a group monthly and work on them at home in between. SO cool!
