Subject: fiddle tune rhythms From: John Hardly Date: 28 Feb 01 - 05:29 PM Masters of blickys and all things folk; Hate to bother you but as I've been teaching myself fiddle tunes (on guitar) I realize that about the only dance rhythm I do no how to count out is a waltz. Is there some place to go, or can you help me compile a source for the counting rhythm of jigs reels etc.? Waltz=1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, etc. |

A waltz would be la-di-da, la-di-da |
