"A Waltz by Billy" and how to embellish waltz melodies

From FiddlinMikeRolland on 8/10/2011 2:02:06 AM

Hey all .  I posted a new video lesson on waltzes this week on my lesson site, FiddlinMike.com.  This week's lesson is on how to embellish basic waltz melodies and features a waltz written by fiddle genius Billy Contreras. Billy wrote the tune and Tristan Clarridge (5-time national champ) played it at the 2009 National Fiddle Contest with some beautiful embellishments. That's the version that I'm teaching. 

You can see a clip of the video on YouTube HERE.  The full lesson is nearly 40 minutes long (too long for YouTube unfortunately).  You can watch the full lesson and download the sheet music at FiddlinMike.com. 

There's a lot to practice in this lesson, so I hope you enjoy it. And don't forget, you can message me with requests! Happy fiddling :)
