Hello! I'm Jim Dorans. Welcome to World Fiddle Music, my site for learning tunes on fiddle and in some cases, other melody instruments - the technical side is entirely fiddle based, and contains fiddle tuition in the form of technique tips.
For those of you who visited the old-style World Fiddle Music forum, you will need to re-register to gain access to most of the resources. Once registered, all the the video clips will be accessible again, with no further passwords needed.
Here are samples of the styles you will see here :
I've recorded a variety of tunes both at normal and slower playback speed. All the audio and video clips on this site were played and recorded by me using a Yamaha SV-200 electric violin, except the clips above, where I used a '5STAR Pro 5-string' violin from KC Strings.
The tunes are mainly folk & traditional, from Scotland, Ireland, England, Eastern Europe and of course the U.S.A and Canada, plus some contemporary tunes. They are played through once only.
This site will cover many diverse aspects of fiddle playing and classical violin technique.
