This is an Excellent choice for a beginner to intermediate fiddler. He teaches the songs in a way that a beginner can learn the base song and then build upon that with double stops, slides, bowing, ect. I like that his wife plays the guitar along with it so you can keep time better than with a metronome. The close-up shot's of Jay's fingering are great. He explains in detail how he get's his fiddle songs to sound so great - all the slides, double stops etc. He doesn't go into detail on which notes he's playing, if you can't read music, he just shows you. You learn by watching what he is doing. Molly's guitar accompaniment really adds depth to the learning experience. If you've been wanting to learn to play 'Ashokan Farewell' you must get this.
