Irish fiddle music help?

Help finding good very fast paced irish or celtic fiddle music?

  • Answer:

    If you understand the basic ornamentations (tricks) used in celtic music, you should first just look at the base melodies and just keep improvising. Memorizing the base melody is very important. Most of them can be found here (with some that have ornaments explicitly written out): http://www.tinwhistler.com/ http://www.thesession.org/ I've only played pennywhistle (tin whistle) and flute versions, so I can't help you with ornamentation. However, here's one example of fiddle ornamentation: http://www.thesession.org/discussions/display/2934/comments Also, if you want to see examples, check out the many youtube videos about celtic music or listen to the Irish and Celtic Music podcast. That podcast is great for hearing what professional musicians do. http://celticmusicpodcast.com/
