Fiddle player here to say Hi. I also play the banjo and a few other stringed instruments. I've just picked my fiddle back up after a 15+ year absence. It's about like starting all over again and I'm a squeaky, squealing mess. I did find a good source for fiddlers though search up johnsfiddlelessons on youtube. John breaks down the songs pretty well. Or just click http://www.youtube.com/user/JohnsFiddleLessons/videos Winson_Paine posted:I can noodle out tabbed songs, I guess I just am eager for when it sounds like bluegrass and less like me plinking away. If you can work out a simple song, stick with that song and practice it. Listen to different folks playing the turn to get a handle of the timing. For me getting that bluegrass "bounce" (drive, flow or whatever you want to call it) is what makes it bluegrass. With either Scruggs style, Clawhammer or even your bowing with a fiddle its still about the accent you place on your timing (if that makes sense) Stick with it and maybe even buy a cheap metronome to help you with timing.
