Old time fiddle lesson- Chilly Winds

Here is an Old Time fiddle lesson on Chilly Winds. I demonstrate four versions of Chilly Winds. Firstly the very simple basic tune, then a more rhythmically interesting one with shuffles and syncopation. I then try it in sawmill tuning- AEAE, playing in both upper and lower octaves with the same fingering, and finally I sing it in unison with the fiddle part. There are plenty more old time fiddle tutorials on The Fiddle Channel, and many of the concepts and techniques of old time fiddling are explained in detail in my book "Exploring Country and Bluegrass Fiddle". A free pdf copy of the sheet music for Chilly Winds is available to anyone who subscribes to my channel.
