Fiddle 4 Cajun (Tue) – week 3
La Valse de Gran Bois is a waltz I learned from Raymond Francois over 25 years ago. I have found no recordings of the tune. This is a different tune than one with the same name played by the Balfa Brothers.
The first time through is the chordal skeleton of the tune. In the second time through, I added pickups to each phrase. We’ll learn those next week, plus how to embellish the basic melody.

Here it is in standard tuning with more shape to the melody.
