Fiddle 4 Cajun (Tue) – week 1

Let’s start with a waltz

Chère Bassette from the CD Balfa Brothers – Play Traditional Cajun Music, Vol. 1 & 2
[The link above takes you to the CD at Floyd's Record Shop in Ville Platte, Louisiana]

Here are two fiddle breaks played by Dewey and Will Balfa (Bolfa)

And a slower and different version played by your teacher.

Remember these melodies are very fluid and variable.

Listen for the chord changes in the band. Can you hear or imagine them when listening to the solo melody or when you play it by yourself?
