Michael Doucet Learn to Play Cajun Fiddle. The fiddler from the hit band BeauSoleil breaks down the slurs, harmonies, ornaments, and other devices that give Cajun music it's distinctive sound. He teaches moer than a dozen waltzes, two-steps, blues, and breakdowns.
The powerful rhythms of the Louisiana Cajun tradition can be found all over the world, and this special DVD tutorial gives you a head start in playing the Cajun-style fiddle. The zesty flavours of this distinctive musical genre will blend seamlessly with country, rock and jazz tunes, adding a unique spice to your tunes and improvisations.
A great introduction to Cajun fiddling, which is not only very rewarding on its own, but a major component of modern Nashville session fiddle work. The video gives slow demos of every song, which is then broken down with all the sticking points gone over very carefully.
For anyone who can play basic melodies and is comfortable with a shuffle bowing pattern and in tune enough for a lot of drone strings, this is a GREAT video!
