This groundbreaking lesson was recorded in 1984, when the now world-renowned Mark O'Connor was just 22 years old. He teaches the three fiddle tunes a player would need for most fiddle contests: a breakdown (Wild Fiddler's Rag); a waltz (Skater's Waltz); and a tune of choice (Soppin' the Gravy). The techniques and stylistic nuances that Mark covers on this extraordinary session will benefit all learning fiddle players. Extra: Each tune is performed, contest-style, by Mark and a crack Nashville band. LEVEL 4 • INCLUDES MUSIC BOOKLET ON DISC • 60 MIN.
