Irish Washerwoman (fiddle lesson)

The Irish Washerwoman is one of the best known Irish Jigs. In this fiddle lesson I go through the basic tune, with suggestions for bowing. Separate bows work almost all the way through, but they should be short, with accents on the first of each three. I look at the tricky fingering of the descending part in the B section. I then demonstrate a more interesting and complex version, with some ornamentation and slight variation. I use on-screen sheet music throughout, and a free pdf copy of The Irish Washerwoman is available to subscribers. There are plenty more videos on Irish fiddle tunes and techniques elsewhere on The Fiddle Channel. Below are details of further fiddle resources from Chris Haigh 1. Patreon 2. Books 3.
