It was written by Jordan Wankoff of Chicago, Il. I have also posted this on the Fall Practice Challenge page as well.

A couple of my favorite old time tunes are Hangman’s Reel and Shove That Pigs Foot a Little Further into the Fire (quite a title, right?)

Making changes to your established bad habits is hard but with the correct observations of Jocelyn, you have it pinpointed and that makes it easier to incorporate the corrections into your technique.

Yes, sometimes in the middle of a tune I’ll start thinking about everything that’s going on and when that happens, I fall off the train!! Starting at age 7 would have been great, I just wish I had started before age 68! As it is, I’ve only been fiddling for about 7 months now.

Regarding double stops, I kind of discovered them accidentally when I was learning the simple notes to “Down to the River to Pray”. I’m trying to do as Jason says and not mash the bow into the strings too hard to obtain the effect.

I am also working on this tune, among others. Yes, you might slow it down a bit to get more accuracy in the notes. Like Tim O’Brian says, “If you can’t play it slow, you sure can’t play it fast!” That’s a difficult tune with all the 5 note rolls but I am slogging my way through it, just like you! Thanks for posting! 🙂
