Captain Fiddle's Teach Yourself Learning CDs
celtic, bluegrass, square and contra dance, old time $12.95 each
These 60 minute recordings contain the standard tunes you'll need for the friday night
country dance. Learn fiddle tunes by repeated listening! I present the tunes very slowly
and simply, note by note, and then up to speed with fancier licks. Whether you are a
beginner or an experienced fiddler wanting to learn new tunes, these recordings are for
you.
The style is dance fiddling with jigs, hornpipes, reels, waltzes, bluegrass, and square
dance tunes. Each CD contains both easy and intermediate level tunes. All four recordings
are at a similar difficulty level and each CD contains both easy and intermediate level
tunes. These CDs are designed for learners who can already either play some scales, or a
handful of simple melodies.
They are suitable for both left handed or right handed playing: CD's are $12.95 each. For
learners with NO previous experience playing on a fiddle, I recommend starting with the
Fiddling For Beginners book and DVD (the DVD replaces CD 1) and then progressing on to
CDs 2,3,4,5.
For the price of two individual CDs you get a free tune book - $24.95 for CDs 4, 5, and Tune
Book 2. (Please note that Tune Book 2 contains written music only for the tunes on CDs 4
and 5. "Tune Book 1" is out of print. and has been replaced by "Captain Fiddle's Tunes and
Variations, Book 1, $24.95 will get you this book plus two CDs - 2 and 3.

From happy customers:
Hi Captain Fiddle or Ryan,
I have ordered beginner fiddle tapes from you and they helped greatly. I would be
interested in getting mail and I thank you very much.
My name is H.W. and my address is.....
Hi,
I have several if not all of your cds. I find them very helpful and very rewarding to learn
something by listening. I am an adult fiddler that just started teaching myself 3 years ago.
Ok so I learned Jesusita Lindo Polka, great song! Fun to play!

Ryan !
I found you on the net a year or so ago, lucky me. I ordered the cd's for learning fiddle, I
was a little premature for your cd's but I'm glad now I have them, so much to learn by my
self.

Hey Ryan,
I've been playing along with your tapes since November of 2000 and I just went to my first
Fiddle gig and was actually able to play along with my friends. Thanks so much for the CDs
they have really helped!
